SF Giants Rumors: Buster Posey’s Contract Situation
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says catcher Buster Posey and the San Francisco Giants are not expecting to discuss a multi-year deal at this time. Schulman also says Posey will be eligible for arbitration after this season as a “Super Two” player, which means he’ll have four years of arbitration eligibility, not three.
Fans don’t have to worry about Posey walking away anytime soon. He still has this year before he is arbitration eligible. The Giants are not concerned with a multi-year deal yet, because Posey is still pre-arbitration eligible. The Giants have the right to renew Posey’s one-year contract at whatever price they choose. After this season is when you can see Posey’s pay start to rise, and that’s when the Giants will start trying to work out a multi-year deal.
Let’s just take it one step at a time, and see how he comes back in the 2012 from his horrific ankle injury.
What’s your thoughts on Posey’s contract status?
