Both Passan and Buster Olney mentioned that Juan Soto is the first domino that needs to fall this offseason. After that, many of the teams that miss out on Soto are likely to turn their attention to Willy Adames before the market begins to heat up for Alonso. Some of that is because Alonso is older than Adames but also that Alonso is "not a great fit for some of the teams involved with Soto." According to Olney, "The best possible outcome for Alonso will be if Soto signs with some team other than the Mets, because in the end, Alonso is worth more to the Mets than he is to any other team."

The Yankees and Giants are among the teams that have shown interest in Willy Adames, writes Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. The market’s top shortstop has also been tied to the Astros, Phillies, Blue Jays, Braves and Red Sox throughout the offseason. New York’s top priority is re-signing Juan Soto.

In case you were wondering what was next for the Yankees in case they fail to bring back generational superstar Juan Soto. Adames would help fill an obvious hole for New York at second base, with Gleyber Torres likely headed elsewhere in free agency. His arrival would allow the Yankees to shift former top prospect Anthony Volpe over to the keystone and install Adames as their full-time shortstop. The 29-year-old is unlikely to replicate last year's career-high 32 round-trippers, but Yankee Stadium would be a phenomenal landing spot for his long-term fantasy outlook. Regardless of where he winds up, Adames will be a top 10 shortstop in fantasy drafts next spring.
