Willy Adames is headed to San Francisco.
The star shortstop agreed to a seven-year, $182 million contract with the Giants on Saturday, according to The Post’s Jon Heyman.
The deal is the largest in Giants franchise history, surpassing the $167 million contract Buster Posey, who took over as the president of baseball operations in San Francisco in September, signed in 2013.
Adames, 29, is coming off the best season of his seven-year career, hitting 32 home runs with 112 RBIs and 21 stolen bases — all of which were career-highs — for the Brewers.
Adames has hit .248/.322/.444 with 150 home runs, 472 RBIs and 51 stolen bases across 880 career games.
After spending his first three-plus seasons with the Rays, Adames was traded to the Brewers in May 2021.
His career took off in Milwaukee, as he blasted 107 home runs and received National League MVP votes in 2021 and 2024 for the NL Central club.
Heyman reported that the Braves and Dodgers were also “active pursuers” of Adames before he reached a deal with the Giants.
The Yankees also had interest in the shortstop.
Adames was the top shortstop on the market and one of the best free-agent position players this winter.
