Jim Bowden, CBS Sports MLB analyst, notes that this acquisition aligns with the Giants' broader strategy under Buster Posey, who has recently stepped into a leadership role within the organization. Shortly after taking over, Posey identified two primary objectives: reinforcing the shortstop position and enhancing the starting rotation. Adames fulfills the first of these goals. Not only was Adames one of the top free agents on CBS Sports' ranking, but he also brings a high level of energy and enthusiasm to the team—a critical factor for building a positive clubhouse culture.
