Giants Remain Non-Committal on Wearing Pride Night Hats Months After Protest
Posey said the Giants need clearer communication after MLB warned players that writing Bible verses on Pride caps violated league policy.
- On Tuesday, San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said the club must learn from its handling of June's Pride Night, when several players added Bible verses to their rainbow-themed caps.
- Following modifications to the caps by pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred warned the team that communication regarding the optional hats was inadequate.
- Manager Tony Vitello stated the team needs better internal communication following a 65-97 season, which Posey described as lacking momentum throughout the year.
- Regarding outfielder Harrison Bader's July scooter accident, Posey stated that investigation details cannot be discussed, though Bader's pay was suspended for the remainder of the season.
- The former star catcher remains eager to lead a turnaround for a franchise that has not reached the postseason in five straight years, though he noted there is no set timetable for a contract extension.
