Six Brewers who are entering their final days on the club
Willy Adames
Ever since he came over via trade with the Rays, Adames has been an absolute treat to watch on a nightly basis. His bat at the shortstop position is next to none and his defense, while at times spotty, has been great, too.
The 28-year-old is set to become a free agent for the first time in his seven-year career at the conclusion of this season. While his performance has certainly hit an all-time high this year and he's been instrumental to the Brewers' successes, it feels like all he's doing is pricing himself out of the club's market. The Brewers have never been huge spenders and Adames being such a premium option at a premium position means there are going to be a million different suitors in free agency.
Adames is on a quest to play all 162 games this year and it feels like he's got a real shot to do it. He's at 145 right now, and he's hit 30 home runs with 102 RBI so far, also accumulating 84 runs scored, 29 doubles, an .801 OPS and a 120 OPS+ that puts him 20 percent above league-average at the plate.
No matter which way you look at it, he's one of the very best shortstops in the game and the fact that he'll be a free agent soon will have many teams salivating. He's done an absolutely incredible job on this Brewers club, but his time in the organization is likely coming to an end here soon.
