San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey announced Friday morning he's opting out of Major League Baseball's truncated 2020 season.
Posey missed his third workout at Giants camp Thursday as he mulled over his decision with his family. Posey has two young kids and has implied he might skip this season on multiple occasions.
"I think there's still some reservation on my end as well," Posey told reporters earlier this week at an Oracle Park practice. "I think I want to see kind of how things progress here over the next couple of weeks. I think it would be a little bit maybe naive or silly not to gauge what's going on around you, not only around you here but paying attention to what's happening in the country and different parts of the country.
