Buster Posey, the new top executive for the San Francisco Giants, has successfully secured a top shortstop, Willy Adames, who has agreed to a seven-year, $182 million contract pending a physical. This deal would set a franchise record, surpassing Posey's own previous record.

Adames, coming off a standout season with the Milwaukee Brewers, is viewed as a significant addition as the Giants have sought a successor to Brandon Crawford. His performance last year included career highs in home runs, RBIs, and stolen bases.
