Brewers Star Predicted To Leave Milwaukee For $189M Deal With Dodgers
The Milwaukee Brewers’ infield certainly could look different by the time the 2025 season rolls around.
Milwaukee won 93 games in 2024 but that won’t stop changes from coming. Star shortstop Willy Adames is a free agent and is going to land a massive deal. He’s one of the best offensive shortstops in baseball and slammed 32 home runs and drove in 112 runs.
The Brewers probably would love to have him back, but there are a handful of big-market clubs looking for an upgrade at shortstop or third base with large checkbooks. Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller put together a list of predictions for each player that rejected the qualifying offer and predicted that Adames will end up signing a $189 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“Contract Prediction: seven years, $189 million to the Los Angeles Dodgers,” Miller said. “LA’s interest level is indirectly proportional to how serious it is about reconverting Mookie Betts to the middle infield. If the Dodgers are legitimately all-in on making the 32-year-old, six-time Gold Glove-winning right fielder their primary shortstop in 2025, then, no, they won’t be bidding much on Adames.
“However, bringing in the former Brewer would allow them to keep Betts in the outfield, where they are already trying to figure out how to replace/re-sign Teoscar Hernández and where they would need multiple solutions if they move Betts…My gut says the Dodgers make it happen, but the Giants wouldn’t be surprising in the least.”
Los Angeles has been linked to Adames on numerous occasions. This is a logical fit.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
