The San Francisco Giants are sending a 30-year-old player to the Washington Nationals in a trade announced Friday, according to multiple reports. Details of the deal, including the player's identity and any return package, were not immediately disclosed.
In a separate development, Giants legend Buster Posey announced his retirement from Major League Baseball. The seven-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion spent his entire 12-year career with San Francisco, winning the 2012 National League MVP award and catching three World Series titles in 2010, 2012, and 2014.
Posey, 34, batted .304 with 18 home runs and 56 RBIs in his final season in 2021 before initially stepping away. He briefly returned to the organization in a front-office role before Friday's formal retirement announcement.
