On today's Locked On Giants podcast, Ben Kaspick discusses Buster Posey's announcement on Friday that he's opting out of the 2020 season. Posey and his wife finalized the adoption yesterday of two premature twins who need to be in the NICU for an extended period of time. Posey has said that the twins are doing great. For Posey, it was an easy decision for his family, but a tough one from a baseball standpoint. His absence is a huge loss for the San Francisco Giants, both from a leadership standpoint and a baseball one. Behind him on the depth chart, the Giants have Tyler Heineman, Rob Brantly, Chadwick Tromp, and Joey Bart. Bart offers by far the most intrigue, but he barely reached Double-A last year and almost certainly isn't quite ready to handle big league pitching. Russell Martin is still a free agent, and he makes a lot of sense for the Giants if Farhan Zaidi and Scott Harris decide to look outside the organization to fill Posey's shoes in 2020.
