Adames Struggles: Ex-Brewer's Season Woes Continue
28 Jul
Summary
- Willy Adames, a former Brewers favorite, is struggling this season with the Giants.
- The Brewers face a challenging 13-game road trip primarily on the West Coast.
- The Giants may trade key players like Luis Arraez before the deadline.
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to commence a challenging 13-game road trip on the West Coast, beginning with a series against the San Francisco Giants. Many of these games, including matchups against the Giants and later the Los Angeles Dodgers, will feature late-night start times. This trip includes a brief return home before heading back west to face the Padres and Dodgers.
Former Brewers shortstop Willy Adames, now with the Giants, is facing a disappointing season. His OPS is the lowest of his career, and he is viewed as the worst defensive shortstop in baseball by some metrics. The Giants, holding a 44-61 record, are reportedly entering a seller's mode for the upcoming August 3 trade deadline.
Key trade candidates for the Giants include All-Star Luis Arraez, known for his contact hitting, and outfielder Jung Hoo Lee. Veteran pitcher Robbie Ray might also be available. Despite Adames' struggles, the Giants lineup is noted for being difficult to strike out and ranks high in extra-base hits.
The Brewers previously won two out of three games against the Giants earlier in the season, including a lopsided 16-2 victory. Pitching matchups for the upcoming series include Brandon Sproat and Tyler Mahle, Logan Henderson and Landen Roupp, and Shane Drohan against Logan Webb.
