Good morning baseball fans!
I know, I know. This is not the happiest topic to be bringing up on a holiday weekend, but it’s one to keep in mind. When Buster Posey announced his retirement unexpectedly after the 2021 season, it took a lot of people by surprise. He was coming off of an exceptional season both individually and for the team. He was still pretty young. The Giants would have been happy to pay him for however long he wanted to keep playing. But he was ready to be done, to enjoy his time with his young children and, presumably, to stop taking foul balls to the beans.
