I think the Giants will wait to see how Buster's bat responds to Kapler's approach. If he can find his power swing again and stay healthy they exercise that option and dump Brandon Belt in 2022. Posey eases into a catcher/first basemen and bench player, splitting time with Joey Bart behind the plate. And Bart gets one-on-one tutoring from the best in the biz. If not Bart, Tromp or Bailey. Giants are deep in prospects.

Agree he has the makings of a fine manager with all that Bochy/Righetti experience. But is that enough to lure him away from four kids and a ton of money? I could see him coaching Little League just as easily.
