When San Francisco Giants legend Buster Posey announced his retirement from baseball on Thursday, it was clear that he wouldn’t be shifting over to a big role with the organization, as some people had speculated. While many fans hoped that Posey would transition into a coaching role, he made it clear he wouldn’t.
Posey said he was retiring to have more time with his family, and would be moving back to Georgia, where he and his wife Kristen are from, and where much of their family still lives. Something as involved as a coach or a high-ranking front office member was clearly off the table.
