Posey might want to stay to improve his chances of entering the Hall of Fame.

Posey has one of the most impressive r um  of any catcher in the 21st century, starting for three title-winning clubs, securing a MVP Award, Rookie of the Year honors, six All-Star nods, four Silver Sluggers, a batting title and a Gold Glove. There are few honors Posey hasn't received as a  player, but there are many voters who may object to his enshrinement due to the lack of sustained offensive production through his career.

Entering the 2021 season, Posey has 140 career home runs and 673 career RBIs, which are far fewer than the 932 RBIs nine-time Gold Glove Award winner Yadier Molina racked up in 17 seasons with the Cardinals.

Depending on how much longer Posey plays, it's possible a lack of longevity and a downward offensive trajectory at the end of his career could hurt his chances. It's also possible a player Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and manager Gabe Kapler have referred to as a "future  Hall of Famer" bounces back in a significant way, returning to form as an All-Star caliber catcher who can sway more voters with a late career renaissance.

The allure of Cooperstown might have him coming back.
