Lee County native and San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey announced Friday that he has elected not to play in the shortened Major League Baseball season because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Posey, 33, and his wife Kristen adopted young twin girls recently, and the 2012 National League MVP had concerns about their health. His daughters were born prematurely and are in stable condition, but still face an extended stay in the NICU. The Poseys already had two children, twins (one boy, one girl) born in 2011.
