This fact will only strengthen Giants legend Buster Posey’s Hall of Fame candidacy
The San Francisco Giants are yet to be good on the diamond with Buster Posey at the helm as the team’s president of baseball operations.
Key points
- Peavy would only have two seasons left in the big leagues, but for a good stretch, he turned back the clock thanks in large part to his partnership with Posey.
- Posey will be eligible for the Hall of Fame as a member of the 2027 class.
- In an appearance on MLB Network, Peavy praised Posey for making the game easy for him to the point where he recorded an ERA of 2.17 in 12 appearances after San Francisco acquired him at the trade deadline.
But Posey has built so much goodwill with both the Giants franchise and its fanbase after he spent the entirety of his illustrious career with the team that he has certainly earned the benefit of the doubt as he gains more and more experience in his executive career.

- He was already 33 at the time, so some decline was understandable, but he got a new lease in life with the Giants and helped them win their third World Series title in five years.
- He spent 13 years with the Giants, won three World Series titles with them (2010, 2012, and 2014), and emerged as a legitimate leader that the entire locker room looked up to.
