The Milwaukee Brewers have reached an agreement with outfielder Jordyn Adams, adding another athletic option to the organization’s outfield mix ahead of the 2026 season.

The deal is expected to be a minor-league contract that includes a non-roster invitation to big league spring training, giving Adams an opportunity to compete for a role while providing Milwaukee with additional depth.

Adams, 26, was selected 17th overall by the Los Angeles Angels in the 2018 MLB Draft and quickly became known for his speed, range, and defensive potential in center field.

A standout multi-sport athlete in high school, Adams has consistently graded well defensively throughout his professional career, often standing out for his ability to cover ground and impact games on the bases. That athleticism remains his calling card as he joins the Brewers organization.

Offensively, Adams’ development has been more uneven. As he climbed the minor league ladder, swing-and-miss issues became increasingly pronounced, particularly at the Double-A and Triple-A levels.

High strikeout rates have limited his ability to translate his raw tools into consistent offensive production, a challenge that has followed him through multiple organizations.

Adams received brief major league opportunities with the Angels across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, appearing in a combined 28 games. After being non-tendered by Los Angeles, he signed a minor-league deal with the Baltimore Orioles and reached the majors again in late May.

His time in Baltimore was limited mostly to late-game defensive work as he logged just five plate appearances across 10 games before being outrighted off the 40-man roster later in the summer.

He finished the 2025 season at Triple-A Norfolk, where his production remained modest but showed flashes of power and speed.

Despite the offensive inconsistency, Adams continued to profile as a useful depth piece thanks to his defense and baserunning, traits that align closely with Milwaukee’s organizational philosophy.

The Brewers place a premium on athleticism and versatility in the outfield, and Adams fits that mold as a non-roster option.

With Jackson Chourio, Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, and Blake Perkins projected to handle most of the outfield duties, Adams joins a crowded depth chart that includes several players with similar speed-and-defense profiles.

For Adams, the move to Milwaukee represents another opportunity to refine his approach at the plate and carve out a role as a defense-first contributor.

For the Brewers, it’s a low-risk addition that reinforces their depth while maintaining flexibility as the season approaches.
