Kerry Crowley and I talk about the Giants’ vibe-based approach to roster building, the importance of having “top steppers,” and the pursuit of Corbin Burnes.
Great conversation! Great points, I think from Kerry, on the opportunity to compete only with Toronto for the #1 FA pitcher. The top of FA does sort of recommend an opportunistic approach, as the Giants’ (and Dodgers’) recent history suggests.
I’m not sure you get the same leadership benefit from a pitcher that you get from a position player, though.
Posey is an impact player for sure. I won't be surprised if he becomes an impact POBO, especially if the Giants have a winning season next year. A lot of players may take notice and want to play for Posey's team, just like Adames did. Just a hunch.

Posey's last year, the Giants won 107 games. and then the following year without Posey...
