SAN FRANCISCO — Surrounded by his parents and other family and friends, Willy Adames was formally introduced and welcomed at Oracle Park after signing a $182 million, seven-year contract to become the San Francisco Giants' new shortstop — the first big, splashy move made by Buster Posey since he became President of Baseball Operations in late September. Adames plans to play every day and he's aiming for all 162 games if manager Bob Melvin will let him, and he plans to win championships for a team that has missed the playoffs the past three years.
