San Francisco Giants podcast Stephen Ruderman:
#1 San Francisco Giants president Buster Posey says that not signing Edwin Diaz is a hypothetical wish and he is satisfied with who he has in the bullpen.
#2 Posey said that the Giants have some guys in the bullpen with good stuff but the results say otherwise the Giants are just hovering over last place by one game over the Colorado Rockies in the NL West and have lost six of their last ten and got shellacked by the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-2 on Monday and swept in a three game series the rest of the way.
#3 Posey says Keaton Winn and Caleb Killan is throwing the ball great this year and that the bullpen needs some time and that the Giants will have to see what they turn into. Is the ciritcs and the media’s confidence in Posey starting to show cracks.
#4 Posey said he has no regrets not only signing the following players Diaz who signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers for three years for $69M, Devin Williams signed with the New York Mets for three years at $51M, and Robert Suarez signed a $45 M deal with the Atlanta Braves for three years, $45M and the Baltimore Orioles signed Ryan Helsley for two years for $28M.
#5 Posey said that he doesn’t regret not signing those high priced bullpen artists “Do we think the cost-benefit of signing this guy is worth it?’ And we didn’t see it, so no, I don’t regret it.”
