The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers have been linked in quite a few trade rumors surrounding Willy Adames. Trade speculations have been quiet for a while now, but recently the defensive struggles of one shortstop has re-sparked the possibility of Adames being traded to the Dodgers.
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Gavin Lux has a case of the yips.
Last spring the Dodgers announced that Gavin Lux was going to be their everyday shortstop. He then sustained an injury that cost him to miss the entire 2023 season. Entering 2024 he was the top choice at shortstop for manager Dave Roberts. Unfortunately a string of defensive errors now has put this in question.
MLB Insider Ken Rosenthal discusses the idea of Willy Adames being traded.
On Foul Territory TV Ken Rosenthal went into specific details regarding Gavin Lux having the yips. He then mentioned the history that Los Angeles has in desiring to acquire Willy Adames. Rosenthal acknowledged that the Brewers don’t want to trade him, but he added that everyone’s available for the right price.

Is Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames available for the right price?
Taking a look back at how the Brewers handled the Corbin Burnes situation this off-season, yes Adames is available for the right price. Milwaukee’s front office went against their strong desire to enter the 2024 season with Burnes in a Brewers uniform and received DL Hall, Joey Ortiz, and a Competitive Balance Round-A draft pick in return. That being said, if GM Matt Arnold gets a trade package that he likes from the Dodgers he won’t be afraid to execute the deal; no matter what has been said previously.
