Is Shortstop Willy Adames Now On The Trade Market?

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Milwaukee Brewers stunned their fans on Thursday evening by trading away ace pitcher Corbin Burnes for an MLB-ready shortstop and pitcher.

This puts the organization at a crossroads: they traded away their best pitcher whose contract expires at the end of the season and brought back a young shortstop who needs time at the major league level. Willy Adames's contract also expires after this season and with the Brewers seemingly pushing toward a youth movement, may now be willing to listen to offers on the 28-year-old shortstop.

In the mix is Tyler Black, another MLB-ready prospect in the Brewers system who will likely take reps at third base in 2024.

Is this the perfect opportunity for the Marlins to shore up their needs in the middle infield?

I thought one of the possibilities disappeared when Joey Ortiz went to the Brewers for Burnes. My personal favorite candidate is now Rafaela from Boston.

At two articles on counting on this.  

Do I think they will do it? Sadly, probably not. 

But should they do it? Absolutely. 

Especially if as Ely suggests, they can get the Brewers to part with a controllable MLB ready piece. But even if they don't...I think they should go for it if the price is as low as the Burnes trade would suggest.

If this is the return Corbin Burnes gets, then I don't see the Marlins doing any significant trades involving their pitching.

Get ready for yet another season of tire-spinning.
