Summary
Justin Verlander is firing back at critics questioning Buster Posey’s Hall of Fame credentials, calling it “ridiculous” to judge his legacy by the Giants’ current struggles. Since taking over in 2024, Posey’s moves—including trading for Rafael Devers and hiring untested manager Tony Vitello—have backfired, leaving the team at 42-56 and facing fan backlash. Though the Giants have shown flickers of life with a five-game win streak, postseason hopes are fading, and Vitello’s job security is in doubt. With a key matchup against the Mariners looming, the Giants’ future under Posey hangs in the balance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
