MLB Rumors: Willy Adames Open to Changing Position If Factors 'Fit His Desires'

Free-agent shortstop Willy Adames is one of the most popular players on the open market this winter, and he reportedly could make himself even more attractive with his versatility.

According to ESPN's Jesse Rogers, sources close to the situation said that Adames "is open to a position change, but only if all other factors fit his desires." The 29-year-old would be willing to move around the infield if the team he signs with already has the shortstop position filled.

"If the team, city and contract work -- but there's an incumbent at shortstop -- Adames could move over to third or even to second base," Rogers explained.

It was noted that Adames has made 51 appearances at second base and just seven at third during his time in the majors, but an MLB scout believes his future will be in the hot corner.

"His middle infield range could be limited as he gets older," the scout told Rogers. "It wasn't the best last year, plus he has corner infield power. I like him there."

Adames is coming off a stellar season for the Milwaukee Brewers in which he posted career-highs of 32 home runs, 112 RBI and 21 stolen bases. He would surely be a strong addition to any team hoping to contend for a World Series title next year and beyond.
