Catcher Cameron Rupp had been on the Giants for just a heartbeat, but it was enough to learn from one of the greatest in the game: Buster Posey.
The Giants signed Rupp to a minor-league contract in December of 2018.
“We’ve played against each other for a few years prior to me signing with San Francisco, but what an unbelievable human being,” Rupp said this week on NBC Sports Bay Area’s Balk Talk. “Clearly the reason he opted out was unbelievable and kudos to him and his wife -- that’s awesome, but the guy’s won every accolade you could possibly take, in a very, very short time which is pretty incredible and he’s going to continue to do it, as long as he’s stays healthy.
