The Giants' top offseason priority was adding a high-level shortstop and president of baseball operations Buster Posey accomplished that goal.

News of the agreement between Adames and the Giants broke on Saturday, and less than 72 hours later, they finalized the contract.
The Giants now have the left side of their infield locked in for the next half-decade, with third baseman Matt Chapman signing a six-year, $151 million contract extension before the end of the 2024 season.
