Receives offers from NLCS teams Adames has received offers from the Dodgers and Mets as of Thursday, Mike Rodriguez reports.

Impact According to Rodriguez, the Mets have made an offer of over $160 million for seven years.

As for the offer from the Dodgers, the details of a proposed contract have not been reported. If he signs with Los Angeles, he would be their starting shortstop.

Homers, swipes two bags Adames went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two stolen bases in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Rockies.

Impact Adames got the scoring started Saturday with a first-inning solo home run that was then followed by a Gary Sanchez home run. It was Adames' 30th home run of the season, his second career season with 30 or more homers after also doing it in 2022. Adames became the first Brewers player with 30 home runs and 100 RBI in a season since 2018, when both Christian Yelich and Jesus Aguilar did it. The two stolen bases were a surprise, as it was just the second time in his career he gets multiple steals in a game, and it was the seventh time he gets a homer and a steal in the same game.
