Giants Coach Critiques Willy Adames' Defensive Commitment
The San Francisco Giants are facing difficulties as their infield coach, Ron Washington, has raised concerns about star shortstop Willy Adames' commitment to defensive work. This issue was highlighted during a recent Apple TV broadcast, where it was noted that Washington has found it challenging to motivate Adames consistently.
On the same day the Giants, with a record of 47-63, suspended player Harrison Bader for an incident involving a scooter crash, they also suffered a 7-0 defeat to the San Diego Padres. The broadcast commentary mentioned that Giants manager Tony Vitello observed improvements in Adames' defense when he worked one-on-one with Washington.
Adames has been dealing with back issues this season, which may have affected his practice performance. His defensive struggles are evident, as he currently holds the worst Fielding Run Value in the league for his position. With the trade deadline approaching, the Giants may consider moving Adames, although his recent performance could impact his market value.
