Terry Wayne Adams (born March 6, 1973) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He bats and throws right-handed.
At Mary G. Montgomery High School, he went 12-2 with a 1.75 ERA his senior season and was the 1991 Alabama High School Player of the Year.
He was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 4th round of the 1991 baseball draft and began his professional career by recording a 0-9 record in 13 starts with the Huntington Cubs in the rookie league. He rose through the Cubs farm system with stops in Peoria, Daytona, Orlando and Iowa. His best minor league season was in 1995, when he was the closer for the Orlando team and saved 19 games with a 1.43 ERA.
Adams made his Major League debut on August 10, 1995 for the Cubs against the San Diego Padres in the first game of a doubleheader at Wrigley Field. Adams pitched a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in relief of starting pitcher Frank Castillo. Adams returned to the mound in the second game of the doubleheader, pitching a scoreless eighth inning in relief of starting pitcher Steve Trachsel.
He remained in the Cubs' bullpen through 1999, primarily as a setup reliever, though he did save 18 games in 1997.
After the 1999 season, the Cubs traded Adams to the Los Angeles Dodgers (along with two minor leaguers Chad Ricketts and Brian Stephenson) in return for Eric Young and Ismael Valdes.
