So does that now become a single instead of catcher's interference?

A single but if he was thrown out then CI.  What is weird with the CI rule is that it states a runner can only advance one base but Adames took two bases. 

With the runners part it sounds like it can be a dead ball play or the HP umpire can let it be live and similar to the infield fly rule the runner can advance at their own risk.  I wonder if Adames were to be thrown out at 3rd if the manager can elect to have the CI instead?  I think the rule only applies to the batter and not the runner unless the runner is forced out at a base.

When catcher interference occurs, the umpire will allow the play to progress because the outcome of the play may be more desirable than the interference. In that case, the offensive manager can elect to accept the outcome of the play over the interference.
