We all know the drill by now. It’s been repeated by every San Francisco Giants publication, podcast, broadcast, and social media platform over and over.
Brandon Belt will be a free agent after this season. Brandon Crawford will be a free agent after this season. And Buster Posey — assuming the Giants pay his $3 million buyout rather than his $22 million contract — will be a free agent after this season.
That will be, at a minimum, a combined 42 years in the organization, 34 seasons at the MLB level, 9 All-Star selections, 1 MVP, and 7 World Series rings.
