Posey: Giants not interested in trading Doval
San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey isn't planning to trade closer Camilo Doval this offseason.
"I have belief in him being important for us," Posey said Monday, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.
Doval's name has been connected to trade rumors after a rocky 2024 campaign in which the one-time All-Star was sent down to the minors in August.
The 27-year-old registered a 5-3 record with a 4.88 ERA, 23 saves, and 78 strikeouts across 59 innings. Doval struggled with his command, allowing 5.9 walks per nine innings.
"I'm pretty bullish on him coming back," Posey said, per Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News. "This guy's got the potential to be a lockdown piece. We've seen it, right? He's got nearly 100 saves in the big leagues. That doesn't happen by accident."
Doval was excellent in 2023, racking up 39 saves with a 2.93 ERA and 11.6 K/9 in 69 appearances.
