Willy Adames started spring training a while ago. He has been working out in Arizona for about a month, looking to ease his transition to life with the San Francisco Giants.

The Giants were comfortable signing Willy Adames to the richest contract in franchise history because they felt he would not only stabilize a premium defensive position but also add an impact bat to their lineup.

Adames set the tone on the first day of full-squad workouts by homering off right-hander Sean Hjelle during live bullpens, then hit two more off Logan Webb the next day. On Wednesday afternoon, Ramos stepped in the box in front of several dozen fans and took his turn to flex.

As the San Francisco Giants began spring training, their new signing Willy Adames already looks sharp and ready to play alongside new teammate.

Logan Webb has to give it to Willy Adames. The new shortstop of the San Francisco Giants has the ace’s number. Pitchers keep tabs on opponents who take them deep, and Webb can count six times Adames has hit a home run off him.

New Giants shortstop Willy Adames gave San Francisco fans an early highlight on the first full day of spring training on Monday.

The addition of Willy Adames was the centerpiece of San Francisco’s offseason after the team went 80-82 last year.
