He appeared in five games in early 2025, but was primarily a pinch/defensive replacement. He only showed up one plate. Adams played 28 games in the Halo matches in 2023-24, hitting .175/.205/.216 with a 36% strikeout rate in 78 sets.
Adams hasn’t performed better among minors this year. He hit .185/.281/.280 in 235 sets – all of which reached three levels except for five boards. He’s unlikely to see normal game time, but he’ll play the backup position Dylan Carlson,,,,, Colton Cowser and Taylor O’Neill Yesterday’s Veterans Transaction Cedric Mullins (To the Metropolitan) and Ramon Laureano (To the priest). Adams is an additional runner and defender who can handle all three outfield games.

It is worth noting that Baltimore’s post-login call is the highest prospect before Heston Kjerstad. The 26-year-old finished second in the 2020 draft and was selected for Norfolk earlier this season after some obvious struggles on pitching with the major leagues. His offense fell further after being knocked down as he cut only .149/.225/.248 in Norfolk’s 112 sets before exiting the July 25 game. Roch Kubatko of Masnsports.com was one of O’s Beat members a few days ago, Kjerstad had been fatigued and was placed on the list of seven-day injuries. He will reevaluate within a week.
