Happy for Buster. The best of the best (people and not just baseball players):
Buster Posey, the 2012 NL MVP and a seven-time All-Star catcher, helped usher in the most successful era in Giants history after he was drafted with the fifth overall pick in 2008. He retired following the Giants' remarkable 2021 season and joined the Giants' ownership group in September 2022. The Giants are hoping the 37-year-old will be able to lead a similar rise now that he’s poised to shift from the face of the franchise to the face of the front office.
“As we look ahead, I’m excited to share that Buster Posey will now take on a greater role as the new President of Baseball Operations,” Johnson said. “We are looking for someone who can define, direct and lead this franchise’s baseball philosophy and we feel that Buster is the perfect fit. Buster has the demeanor, intelligence and drive to do this job, and we are confident that he and Bob Melvin will work together to bring back winning baseball to San Francisco.”
