The Rockies signed Adames as a non-drafted free agent in 2007. He made his MLB debut with the Rockies on July 29, 2014.[1]

Chicago Cubs[edit]
On January 21, 2019, Adames signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs organization.[7][8] Adames spent the majority of the year dealing with an undisclosed injury, and hit .256 with 2 home runs and 6 RBI in 12 games for the Triple–A Iowa Cubs. He was released by Chicago on July 5.[9]
