“A lot of people around baseball will say ‘family first,'” Kapler said. Giants manager Gabe Kapler called Posey’s decision “a no-brainer.”
“I know I speak on behalf of a lot of people in the Giants family when I say we support you and we’re going to miss you.” “On behalf of the entire Giants family and organization, we want to congratulate you and your family and say we wholeheartedly support your decision,” said Zaidi, adding his personal thanks for Posey’s support and counsel as he transitioned to the role of club president upon his hiring in November 2018. The clear message: This is an organization that prioritizes family, especially now. “It’s his first birthday today,” Zaidi said, “and his one wish was to crash this phone call.” They held up a sign that read, “We love you Buster” and included a request for an autograph next year. Club president Farhan Zaidi conducted his Zoom interview in front of a playpen with his son, Jazz.
BUSTER POSEY WIFE RACY FULL
There isn’t enough data to draw conclusions.Īnd so Posey informed the Giants that he would opt out, and the organization threw its full support behind him. Doctors couldn’t tell him for sure how the babies would be affected in the near term as well as the long term if they were to contract the virus. Aside from those concerns, Posey said his decision was driven by the ongoing uncertainty about the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Their immune systems will be highly compromised for at least four months. Posey said the babies are healthy but will remain in a neonatal intensive care unit for several weeks. There was no way to predict they would welcome preemies amid a pandemic. They were optimistic that this chance might work out.
By the time the Poseys were matched with a birth mother a few months ago, they had learned to read the signs. At one point, they welcomed a baby into their home and cared for it for a few days only to receive the news that the birth family had changed its mind. The Poseys made the decision to adopt several years ago and the process, as it does for so many prospective parents, included so many rising hopes and crushing disappointments. From a family standpoint and feeling like I’m making a decision to protect children - our children - I think it was relatively easy.” “From a baseball standpoint, it was a tough decision. “I can’t sit here and tell you what’s the right answer to this or the wrong answer to this, but after weighing it for a long time, talking to doctors, I just feel like in the current state we are right now, and these babies being as fragile as they are for the next four months at minimum, this ultimately wasn’t that difficult a decision for me,” Posey said. It was the reason behind it - a joyful one amid so much sadness and confusion.Ī catcher’s intuition is always to cover and protect home. So Posey’s official announcement to that effect on Friday was not the surprise. There was a growing sense that he would decide to opt out of playing in 2020. He missed two more this past Wednesday and Thursday for what the team described as personal reasons. As fate would have it, they were born on July 3, which happened to be the same day the Giants held their first workout at Oracle Park as Major League Baseball attempts to restart in the middle of a pandemic. Their names are Ada and Libbi and they were born prematurely - at 32 weeks, or roughly five weeks earlier than typical full-term twins.
“To love them unconditionally, just to share life with them.” “My wife, myself and our older children … we’re just overwhelmed with joy to welcome them into our family,” Posey said. They got out their safety scissors and construction paper and flung their homemade confetti in the air. So the couple’s 8-year-old twins, Addy and Lee, set to improvise. When Buster and Kristen Posey received word that their adoption of newborn twin girls had been finalized, there wasn’t time for a trip to the party store or for Amazon Prime.
