The 2020 Major League Baseball season is going to be… different to say the least. The shortened 60-game season has proven to not be worth it for some players, and a member of the San Francisco Giants<\/a> made that difficult decision today.<\/p>\n Giants catcher Buster Posey<\/a> has opted out of the 2020 season, the team announced Friday, and it appears they’re fully supportive of his decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, Posey’s decision was an easy one as he and his wife adopted premature twins yesterday. They also have 8-year-old twins and the premature babies are just 32 weeks old. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n As for who could fill in for Posey, Aramis Garcia and Joey Bart both are options. <\/p>\n Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher David Price, Nationals star Ryan Zimmerman, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Mike Leake and Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond also announced they won’t be competing in 2020.<\/p>\n That’s not all, either. MLB’s biggest star, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout, is considering opting out<\/a> because he and his wife Jessica are expecting their first child to be born in August. The three-time MVP doesn’t want to risk getting his wife or child sick and is uncomfortable returning to the field with the rising number of coronavirus cases in many states.<\/p>\n Trout also has been in contact with various players around the league, and all are thinking the same thing he is: “Is this gonna work?”<\/p>\n After Monday’s issues, that is certainly a fair question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Erin Walsh <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\n\n\nFree Email Offer: Get Daily Giants Updates, Top Ten Stories, Highlight Videos, Rumors & Much More<\/a><\/div>\nSee Campaign: <\/strong>https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/mlb\/teams\/san_francisco_giants\/24<\/a>
