As per Athletic, the Giants are ready to embrace a new way forward. Well, after a recent slump of seasons, a change was needed – at first, expectations were high from ex-president Farhan Zaidi, but a six-year tenure ended in disappointment, making a fresh direction imperative. Now, the reins have been handed over to the World Series champion. Interestingly, the Giants could have kept Posey in a behind-the-scenes role, acting as the chief decision-maker while bringing in a new president of baseball operations to report to him. So, why go public with this announcement?

By putting Buster Posey front and center, they’ve likely narrowed their pool of executive candidates. But the team can’t escape the barrage of questions that come with his new title: Will he give up his board seat? What’s in store for general manager Pete Putila, and how involved will Posey be in the day-to-day operations? It’s a fair concern, especially since this legendary player has never dipped his toes into baseball administration. The catcher hasn’t negotiated with agents or engaged in trade talks with rival clubs. But here’s the undeniable truth: Posey has led the Giants to the World Series—not just once, but three times!

As the SF Giants strive to end their trophy drought since 2014, who’s better than someone who has tasted victory? But for this, the seven-time All-Star has to swap an exacting knowledge of the rulebook to grasp the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Will he be able to do this? Well, the team members of the Giants and authorities believe he can.

The Giants expect a lot from the 7-time All-Star
