Harrison Bader Will Remain With Giants for 2027 Season

San Francisco Giants President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey confirmed that outfielder Harrison Bader will remain in the organization and be part of their 2027 plans. Bader was suspended without pay for the final two months of 2026 following an off-field driving incident, putting his $13 million salary in question. After struggling to a .170 average in 111 plate appearances in 2026, the elite defensive center fielder with eight years of MLB experience is slated to platoon with Drew Gilbert.
