So, took him long enough, but C Buster Posey is absolutely destroying real-life MLB as a 34-year old. He also has a 2.0 WAR projection in the sim, which is still probably Top 10 as far as catchers go.
I thought his contract only ran through this year, but he has an option for 2022. So you would actually benefit from his monster 2021 in 2022, AND still get a 2.0 WAR catcher with C Vg/46 and 1B Av/78 for the rest of the current 2021 season.
I will eat *most* of his 2021, but do request a few MM of breathing room, as I am cap-crunched as always. Happy to get a prospect at almost any position; wouldn't turn down a later round pick either.

6/28 Update:
Posey is really catching fire in the sim. He's up to a line of...
.283 BA / .365 OBP / .543 SLG
...that gives him a sizzlin' .909 OPS.
And he's somehow getting BETTER in real life, now up to a line of...
.328 BA / .412 OBP / .556 SLG (12 HR already)
= .968 OPS (168 OPS+)
I'm probably nuts still keeping him on my block, as all of my other catchers are currently struggling in real life...but there he is.

1. Posey is still available.
2. Adding LF/CF/DH Justin Upton to the block. Upton has Vg power ratings vs. LHP and RHP, and a 98 OPS+, 23 HR projection. I will continue to pay all but $1-2MM of his final 2021 salary, as he just doesn't have a spot on my team right now.
In real life, he also has a very solid line of 14 HR, .816 OPS, 118 OPS+ right now, so he wouldn't be a bad guy to have a hometown discount on for offseason FA. I'm pretty sure if you trade for him prior to the ASG, you get the full 10%.

PS Buster Posey hasn't hit this well since his MVP season in 2012. He made the All-Star team, and here's his line heading into the break:
.328/.421/.547
12 HR, .968 OPS, 165 OPS+
This will be my last Posey pimp. He's now simming better than Sam Huff for me, and I'm probably crazy for keeping him out there, with the ability to pick up his option next year. Later haters,
