Buster Posey read a prepared statement on the June 12 Pride Night dispute and then declined to answer further questions about it. The team is 31-46 and has drawn criticism for its handling of the incident.
Usa TodaySan Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey read a prepared statement Tuesday about the club's June 12 Pride Night and then told reporters he would answer only baseball questions. Posey said the organization had discussed the matter internally and understood that some fans were upset.
He declined to revisit the topic when asked about communications with the manager or clubhouse. A team staffer threatened to end the press conference after two additional questions on the same subject.
Team performance and roster moves The Giants are 31-46 in Posey's second season as president of baseball operations. The club signed shortstop Willy Adames to a $182 million contract and acquired another player still owed more than $200 million; both are batting near or below replacement level.
Starter Adrian Houser was moved to the bullpen and Tyler Mahle posted a 6.04 ERA before landing on the injured list. Posey said he has not yet approached veterans Matt Chapman or Adames about their no-trade clauses and will not trade starter Logan Webb.
Trade deadline outlook Posey said the club must consider all options at the trade deadline if the losing continues. Four-time batting champion Luis Arraez is among the players who could be moved. "I think with where we're at, unfortunately, we've got to have everything on the table," Posey said.
The Giants are coming off a season in which they finished between 79 and 81 wins for the fourth straight year.
