“I think you’d be a little bit maybe naive or silly not to gauge what’s going on around you - not only here, but paying attention to what’s happening in different parts of the country. I think I want to see how things progress here over the next couple of weeks.” “I think there’s still some reservation on my end. “I’ve thought about it and talked about it with my wife, quite a bit,” Posey said Saturday. Posey and his wife have two other children, and the catcher has often spoken in the past about the importance of family and his role as a father.Īfter reporting to summer camp on Saturday, Posey met with reporters over Zoom and expressed reservation about participating in the 2020 season but did not indicate he and his wife were planning to adopt. “(Buster) is just as supportive and thoughtful and caring, and it is an absolute honor to be able to return that support and say that I think Buster is making an incredible and thoughtful decision for his family and the one that makes the most sense,” Kapler said.

Kapler expressed his full support for Posey on Friday, saying it was an honor to have Posey attend his introductory press conference as Giants manager and detailing how Posey has aided him in his first year on the job. Posey also missed consecutive practices on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The 10-year veteran was not present at the team’s first workout of the summer due to what manager Gabe Kapler termed a “personal matter” but participated in practices on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. “I think it was kind of an obvious and easy call for Buster, and I think the fact that he took the time to think it through shows his dedication and loyalty to his teammates and how much he loves the game and he loves to play,” Giants’ president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said. The six-time All-Star will not be paid any of his 2020 salary nor will he receive service time after choosing to skip the season. Posey, 33, made the announcement a week after the Giants held their first workout of the summer. Thank god they are doing really well, but they are going to have to be in the NICU for quite some time.” “The adoption actually became official yesterday afternoon, and my wife, myself and our older children are overwhelmed with joy to welcome them into our family, to love them unconditionally and to share life with them,” Posey said. Posey said he likely would have participated in the 2020 season if he and his wife were not adopting children during the pandemic. We all just want to support him, let him know that we respect and honor him and we know that this is a very difficult decision for him and everyone at this time.” “I’m sure this is a long process and he had no idea what 2020 has had in store for us. This is life,” longtime teammate Hunter Pence said. “It was a very difficult decision for him and two premature babies. Here's Buster Posey's statement today announcing he and his wife Kristen have adopted twins and also saying he will opt out of the 2020 baseball season. “We feel this is the best decision for these babies and for our family as well.” “After much discussion with my wife and doctors and a decision that I’ve wrestled with quite a bit since I knew that this adoption was on the table, I’ve decided to opt out of the 2020 baseball season,” Posey said. Posey said the girls were born last Friday and will need to remain in the neonatal intensive care unit for some time, so he and Kristen decided it was in the family’s best interest to opt out of participating this year. Posey announced Friday he will sit out the 2020 season amid concerns about the coronavirus pandemic after he and his wife Kristen adopted identical twin girls. SAN FRANCISCO - For the first time in a decade, the Giants will open the season without star catcher Buster Posey in their starting lineup.
