Willy Adames officially introduced himself as a member of the San Francisco Giants during his press conference on Thursday, December 12.

Buster Posey praised Willy Adames’ ability to connect people as a trait that will help the San Francisco Giants win championships
On October 1 of this year, Buster Posey was announced as the Giants new President of Baseball Operations. He replaced Farhan Zaidi, who managed just one winning season during his six year tenure. Posey’s first big move in an attempt to restore a winning culture to the Bay Area was signing a personable player in Willy Adames to the largest contract in franchise history.
“I think to win championships you have to have personalities like Willy that they’re able to identify with everybody in the clubhouse, and that’s not just players. I heard from multiple people that Willy treats everybody with the utmost respect. He plays with energy, he plays with joy and I know that our fans are just going to be thrilled to watch him compete on a daily basis.”

Willy Adames shares the same championship vision as Buster Posey
“I think that was the biggest reason that I’m here. What he (Buster Posey) accomplished here as a player was such a dream, and I was growing up when I was watching that, but it was such a great run. Those championships were amazing.”
-Willy Adames
“Hopefully we can win a few championships like you did and that’s one of the main reasons I’m here.”
