"Wonderful and Humble"- Brewers supporters commend Willy Adames' classy gesture as shortstop takes selfie with young fan amid Giants trade rumors
On Sunday, MLB posted a heartwarming video on X, showing Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames making a young fan's day as he stopped to take a selfie with her. In the video, the fan bursts into tears after meeting the Brewers star.
Replying to the post, fans commended Willy Adames' classy gesture.
"Wonderful and humble, making time for fans."
"What a move by Adames." another fan tweeted.
As Willy Adames enters free agency at the end of the 2024 season, there is a very realistic chance that this is his last season in Milwaukee. With the San Francsisco Giants looking to bring in a fixture at the shortstop position and Adames available in the prime of his career, we may well see the Dominican playing at Oracle Park in the 2025 season.
Replying to the post, several Brewers fans expressed their desire to somehow retain their shortstop.
"Please for the love of god keep him in MKE." a fan tweeted.
"That's an all around player you want on your team. Needs to be resigned! Production on and off the field!" another fan tweeted.
"Damn man can we please keep him!" another fan tweeted.
Willy Adames exits last game of regular season to rousing standing ovation
The Milwaukee Brewers' regular season ended on Sunday with a 5-0 defeat to the New York Mets at American Family Field. With the NL Central division title and playoff seeding already done and dusted, the result mattered little from Milwaukee's point of view. Rather, it was a day when the home crowd celebrated their team's achievements for the season.
Willy Adames has been at the heart of many of those achievements for the Brewers. With a .251 batting average, 32 home runs, 112 RBIs and 21 stolen bases over the season, Adames has been one of the most consistent performers for his team offensively, while also being reliable in defense.
As he exited the game in the seventh inning on Sunday, Adames recieved a stirring standing ovation from the Brewers faithful. With the 29-year-old entering free agency at the end of the season, the emotion was further amplified as this may be the last regular season game for Adames as a Brewer.
Willy Adames and Co. begin their postseason journey on October 1. They will face one of the New York Mets, Atlanta Braves or Arizona Diamondbacks, with the fate of the second and third spots in the NL wildcard hinging on the Mets' doubleheader against the Braves on Monday.
However, with a home field advantage, the Brewers, who have looked solid at American Family Field all season, will fancy their chances of coming out on top.
