When Brandon Crawford took his trademark post between second and third base at Oracle Park for Game 162 of the San Francisco Giants season, emotions swirled. It was understood to almost surely be the final game in Crawford’s legendary Giants career, and most of us assumed the final game he’d ever play.
Now we’re trending in the other direction. A month after telling reporters that he needed time to figure out his future, it seems as though Crawford has done exactly that. And that future appears to have more baseball in it.
At the general managers meetings in Scottsdale, Arizona (which are the lesser of the two offseason front office meet-ups), Crawford’s agent, Joel Wolfe, told the San Francisco Chronicle’s John Shea that the 13-year veteran, four-time Gold Glove winner, three-time All-Star, and two-time champion intends to play in 2024.
