Posey said the Giants need clearer communication after MLB warned players that writing Bible verses on Pride caps violated league policy.
- On Tuesday, San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said the club must learn from its handling of June's Pride Night, when several players added Bible verses to their rainbow-themed caps.
