Giants president jokingly tries to talk Buster Posey out of retirement

Buster Posey’s decision to retire is unquestionably a significant blow to the San Francisco Giants. So significant, in fact, that the team’s general manager jokingly tried to talk him out of it during Thursday’s press conference.

Farhan Zaidi was one of those who spoke at the press conference that made Posey’s retirement official. Before beginning his remarks, he turned to Posey and jokingly asked the longtime catcher if this was “a definite, for sure thing.”
