| Career Transactions | |
| Signed as international free agent by Tigers, July 2, 2012; Traded by Tigers with LHP Drew Smyly to Rays as part of three-team deal in which Rays sent LHP David Price to Tigers, Tigers sent OF Austin Jackson to Mariners, and Mariners sent 2B Nick Franklin to Rays, July 31, 2014. | |
| Background | |
| Adames was the centerpiece of the trade that sent David Price to Detroit two seasons ago, and has validated that status with his play since coming over to the Rays. | |
| What to Watch For | |
| Adames is a solid defender at shortstop, but he makes his money with offensive skill set that includes doubles power to all fields and a high-energy makeup. |
