Why?
Adams is a competent 1b at worst. He's a fat guy for sure, but he's shockingly nimble around the bag. He's made several very nice scoops this year that Craig wouldn't make. He's a good knee bender over there so he's at the right angle to save some of those throws (as opposed to Craig, who generally breaks at the waist). He's a
massive target with his wingspan being what it is.
He'll be a perfectly viable defensive 1b for the next 5-6 years, IMO. I'd far prefer Adams defensively at 1b to Craig over the next 5 years. He's just much more sound defensively. And baseball teams tend to view trades through 5 year windows these days.
An NL team would be happy to bring Adams on board.
