Examining the Giants catcher options

Four days ago, San Francisco Giants MVP Buster Posey opted out of the 2020 season, citing the premature birth of twin girls that he and his wife, Kristen, are adopting.

Posey was placed on the restricted list, and with that the Giants find themselves with exactly zero catchers on the 40-man roster.

That is not a typo. The Giants — who entered the offseason with just Posey and the now-injured Aramis Garcia as the lone backstops — have zero catchers on the 40-man roster.

That will change, of course.
