A Milwaukee Brewers impending free agent has once again been linked to the big-spending, powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Brewers will likely be in the news cycle throughout the winter until their top-free agent signs somewhere. The rumor mill has already been churning, and the latest report suggests more bad news for Brewers fans.

"The fit between (Willy) Adames and the Dodgers is obvious," FanSided's Robert Murray wrote Tuesday morning. "Los Angeles lacks a long-term shortstop and despite a record-setting spending spree last offseason, should have money to spend this winter because of how Shohei Ohtani structured his 10-year, $700 million contract. Adames has history with Dodgers executive Andrew Friedman from their time with the Tampa Bay Rays. Friedman has also tried to trade for Adames in recent years, with the Brewers deciding to hold onto the shortstop instead."

Adames hit .251 with 65 extra-base hits including 32 home runs, 112 RBIs and a .793 OPS (118 OPS+) in 161 games this season.

Although the stars may align for the 29-year-old to find a new home with Los Angeles, Brewers owner Mark Attanasio will still try to retain Adames but knows the team's financial limitations will come into play.
