"President of baseball operations Buster Posey handled his first order of business this offseason by hiring Tony Vitello after firing Bob Melvin. Having checked that box, Posey and general manager Zack Minasian will shift their attention to building the team that Vitello leads. Posey has not been shy about acquiring star power, signing Willy Adames to a franchise-record deal then trading for three-time All-Star Rafael Devers and inheriting roughly $250 million of salary."
