I've been wondering if for older players like Posey who finishing the last years of the last lucrative contract they'll get - any excuse is a good excuse.
Right now he's slated to make $44 mil over 2 more years of playing, and a likely $3 mil option buyout. $47 mil if he plays 2 full seasons.
About $8 mil this year if he plays, so $33 over 1+ seasons if he plays.this year.
If the Giants had a shot this year, I'd see him playing. But might as well enjoy the home life and make another $14 mil.
