I know that Posey retired and therefore forfeits the $22 million club option for 2022. But do the Giants still have to pay the $3 million buyout if they bring back Posey in another role in the organization? I would assume not...
As for the payroll status, as near as I can tell, here's the Giants 2022 luxury tax situation, assuming a $210 million/team tax threshold (yes, I know it's not set in stone). Stats from Spotrac:
Active payroll, $83 mms. (assumes deferred payroll, $4 mms. which counts against 2022,j Posey at $0 and Belt at $18 mms.). Total current tax allocations and obligations are $86,315,300 leaving approximate cap space of $123, 684,700.
