Giants: Will 2020 be the year Buster Posey moves to first base?

For years, there has been talk of Buster Posey inevitably making the shift from catcher to first base for the San Francisco Giants.

With Posey's hip injury in 2018 and the emergence of a possible replacement in Joey Bart those talks could accelerate in 2020.

Could this be the year that Posey finally makes the full-time move to first base?

This discussion has been ongoing for the better half of the past decade, starting with Posey's horrific 2011 injury stemming from a home plate collision. However, the Giants never felt comfortable moving Posey, mainly because he was too valuable behind the plate and there was never a worthy replacement.
