“I’m ready to help from day one and contribute wherever the team needs me,” said Adames, who highlighted his commitment and willingness to take on any role in this decisive stage of the tournament.

The infielder pointed out that his main objective is to provide depth and defensive stability to the infield, as well as adding timely offense in a stretch where every detail is decisive.
“It’s a great opportunity and a challenge that I take on with great responsibility. Experience and focus will be key in this semifinal”, he added.

The Águilas Cibaeñas, who arrive at the Round Robin with high expectations after leading the regular season, reinforce their roster in the face of the temporary absence of Gerardo Perdomo in the first commitments, due to a family matter. The incorporation of Adames seeks to maintain defensive balance and sustain the competitive level in the fight to advance to the Final Series. Adames also expressed his gratitude for the opportunity received.
“Very grateful, I am going to give 100% with God’s favor. I had a happy holiday with my family and I am ready for this new challenge,” said the player, who explained that his decision to participate in the draft was made in conjunction with his family.

The veteran infielder indicated that he was not surprised to be chosen by the Eagles.
“I know what I can give on the field and what I can contribute to any team,” he stated, highlighting his ability to play in all infield positions.
“I have played in all four infield positions throughout my career and I feel comfortable in all of them; wherever they need me, I will be there.”

At 34 years old, Adames will play his seventh Round Robin, accumulating experience in 83 games, with an average of .268 (254-68), in addition to 38 runs scored, 21 RBIs and three home runs, participating with Toros del Este, Águilas Cibaeñas and Tigres del Licey.

For his part, the Eagles’ Baseball Operations manager, Gian Guzmán, highlighted that the selection of Adames brings greater depth and versatility to the infield.
“We understand that Cristhian is going to give us much more depth in the infield”, said Guzmán, who highlighted his switch-hitting, plate discipline and offensive consistency.

The Eagles opened the Re-entry Draft with the selection of Adames, a player belonging to the Tigres del Licey, and made a total of six selections, including five pitchers, with the aim of especially strengthening their pitching staff for the semifinal phase. The Round Robin starts this Saturday with four teams competing for a spot in the Final Series of the tournament dedicated to Juan Marichal.
