Damn, early. He's only 34. Still playing at high level and Giants contenders.

Watching him at Florida st— was obvious the guy would be an mlb star.

Easily

Posey’s long list of achievements includes the 2012 NL MVP Award, seven All-Star selections, four Silver Slugger Awards, and a Gold Glove in 2016.  He retires with 158 home runs and a career slash line of .302/.372/.460 over 5607 plate appearances, and is likely heading for a Hall Of Fame induction in five years’ time.

I wonder if any player has ever won Comeback Player of the Year in his last year to ever play of their career.

Surprising. Seems like he still has a decent amount of gas left in the tank. Wonder how much of this is him not featuring in the giants long-term plans and not wanting to play somewhere else

If he played for the Yankees he’d get the Jeter treatment

First ballot no doubt. Surprising since NL may go to Substitute hitter next year.

Easily. He and Joe Mauer are probably the two best catchers of the 2010s.

Pretty surprised he’s retiring. Had a great year this year and the Giants near term future is bright. He’s won everything that matters though and catching is rough so hard to blame him

Rookie of the Year. A batting title. An MVP. 3 World Championships, a lifetime slash of .302/.372/.460 and 7 All-Star appearances as a catcher

Buster Posey will announce his retirement today, walking away from a $22 million option that the Giants picked up last month


Damn

Surprised by this, hope he’s okay.. He’s a HOF catcher. But that position takes it toll. No idea how Molina has made it as long as he has.

Buster Posey should be eliminated for HOF contention for bringing that sissy arse home plate rule.

Be a man.
