The awards just keep coming for the Giants. Yesterday Major League Baseball announced the 2021 All-MLB team, a kind of extension of the awards season that steals from College athletics. Our very own Buster Posey and Kevin Gausman were named to the second team. Congratulations boys.
Congratulations to Kevin Gausman and Buster Posey on earning #AllMLB Second Team honors!
