The Milwaukee Brewers are facing a challenging offseason due to their limited financial resources and the impending free agency of star shortstop Willy Adames. As a small-market team, the Brewers have built a strong roster but may struggle to retain Adames, who is attracting interest from several big-market clubs, including the Atlanta Braves.

Adames, with impressive career stats, is projected to command a significant contract that the Brewers may not be able to afford. The Braves, having regretted their previous decision regarding Dansby Swanson, might be more willing to invest in Adames to fill their shortstop vacancy and enhance their playoff prospects.
