7 Steps to Help Keep Your Small Business Cyber Safe This Holiday Season
By Kaley Brown Another free agent who had been linked to the Red Sox this offseason is off the board. Shortstop Willy Adames reportedly agreed to a seven-year, $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants on Saturday, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Boston had been connected to the 29-year-old since the beginning of free agency. Last week, USA Today ’s Bob Nightengale reported that the Red Sox scheduled a meeting with Adames, adding that Boston had “strong interest” in him. The team is publicly in the market for a right-handed hitter, and Adames would have fit the bill. While the Red Sox don’t have a hole at shortstop, the often-injured Trevor Story currently occupies the position. Story has struggled to stay healthy since signing with Boston in 2022, playing in just 163 games over three seasons. On paper, it makes sense that the club would be doing its due diligence regarding who’s available on the market at SS. Additionally, aside from the shakeup at shortstop the acquisition of Adames would have caused, the move would have certainly had an effect on the rest of the infield. Adames is reportedly open to playing third base, which could have shifted the Red Sox’ star third baseman Rafael Devers away from the hot corner. Nightengale reported that Boston had “internally discussed moving Rafael Devers off third base” within his Adames reporting. If Devers had ultimately been moved from third base as a result of the hypothetical move, the organization could have opted to make him the team’s designated hitter or first baseman. The latter would have almost certainly prompted the Red Sox to attempt to trade first baseman Triston Casas, who has emerged as an exciting young player on the club. It’s hard to know if such a tectonic mix-up in the infield would have been the right move for Boston at this point in time. The team’s big-league roster is filled with a plethora of young, promising players, as well as within their minor league system. It feels like the Red Sox have been putting their trust in the kids in recent years, so moving on from Casas with the intention of upgrading another position would have been a head-scratcher. Regardless, with Adames officially off the market, that leaves the baseball world one move closer to finding out which team Juan Soto signs with. Boston is reportedly still in the running for the generational talent as of Saturday night. Sign up for Red Sox updates⚾ Get breaking news and analysis delivered to your inbox during baseball season.

Rugby Australia's relief after injury update on $5million cross-code recruit Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii could play against Ireland Initial fears the centre, 21, had broken his wrist Signed $5million contract in 2023 to defect from NRL By ANDREW PRENTICE FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA and NCA NEWSWIRE Published: 23:01, 25 November 2024 | Updated: 23:01, 25 November 2024 e-mail View comments Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii could feature in the Wallabies team to play Ireland in the final match of the UK tour this weekend after he was cleared of a broken wrist. Suaalii, 21, who signed the most lucrative contract in Australian rugby history , was left wounded after handing out a big hit on Scottish captain Sione Tuipulotu, the Melbourne born former junior Wallaby who was inspirational in his team's 27-13 win that halted Australia's two-game winning streak. Amid serious concerns about Suaalii's wrist, after he walked from the field in Edinburgh , coach Joe Schmidt tried to downplay fears of a more serious injury and subsequent tests delivered the relieving news. 'After making a tackle Joseph Suaalii lost function and had severe pain in his right arm and was substituted,' a statement from the Wallabies camp read. 'Since full time and after travelling with the team to Ireland, his function is returning, and pain is subsiding. 'He was medically reviewed post-game and there is no evidence of a fracture and will be monitored throughout the week.' The loss of Suaalii in the opening half in Edinburgh proved pivotal in the loss which ended the Wallabies chance of winning the grand slam for the first time since 1984. In more positive news, lock Jeremy Williams also travelled with the side and is recovering from illness which ruled him out of the loss to Scotland.

' I felt they still delivered a very good performance against a very good team,' he said. 'And I always said from the start, there's going to be days where it doesn't go as well as you'd like. 'They're not excuses, they're just reasons for why we were a little bit out of kilter. 'Hopefully, people can still see there's some quality starting to be built through an Australian side that's actually starting to show a bit of depth, albeit with some pretty inexperienced players.' Schmidt was also Ireland's head coach between 2013 and 2019. Kick-off in Dublin is 2:10am AEDT on Sunday, December 1.
