Yankees and Giants express interest in free-agent shortstop Willy Adames

The New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants are interested in free-agent shortstop Willy Adames. Other teams linked to him include the Astros, Phillies, Blue Jays, Braves, and Red Sox. The Yankees are focused on re-signing Juan Soto, but if he leaves, they may pursue Adames or Alex Bregman. Adames is open to a position change, while the Yankees currently have Anthony Volpe at shortstop. The Giants aim to add a shortstop, allowing them to move Tyler Fitzgerald to second base. Adames is seen as a safer option compared to Ha-Seong Kim, who is recovering from shoulder surgery. Both teams face penalties for signing a qualified free agent.
