Brandon Belt is reportedly going to need knee surgery in the off-season. The Giants know this, as they haven’t been playing him and have told the press about his likely need for the surgery. So my question is, why wait?
It’s a lost season. Buster Posey has already ended his season to have hip surgery after a questionable delay that may have included concerns about salary and organizational depth in the catching position - neither of which seemed like good reasons to hold off, but I guess they thought they might still be in this thing.
