Jordyn Adams: Everything you need to know

Adams has enrolled at Southern Methodist University and intends to suit up for the football team, Billy Embody of On3.com reports. Adams is a former blue-chip football recruit who signed to play at North Carolina before opting for professional baseball instead. The 26-year-old had split time between Double-A Biloxi and Triple-A Nashville in the Brewers organization before being released last week. Adams has slashed .165/.193/.203 in 38 games covering parts of three major-league seasons. His pursuit of a football career presumably means Adams is done playing baseball, though he has not confirmed as much.

The Brewers signed Adams to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Adams went hitless in five plate appearances for the Orioles and slashed only .213/.291/.379 at Triple-A Norfolk in 2025. The 26-year-old is a tremendous athlete but has been unable to find a foothold in the majors. Adams is likely ticketed for Triple-A Nashville to begin the upcoming season.

The Orioles outrighted Adams to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Adams has accepted an outright assignment and will remain in the organization as outfield depth. The 25-year-old is 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in 10 games during his brief time with the big club this season.
