For those who thought the Harrison Bader era was done, think again.

The San Francisco Giants all but confirmed on Tuesday, Nov. 10, that the 32-year-old will be back in the fold for the 2027 season.

First of all, that comes with the notion that there will be a 2027 season, and it also comes with a caveat, as Buster Posey knows there are still a few things to work out.

The New York native came to San Francisco at the start of the 2026 season, having signed a two-year, $20.5 million deal.

Things took a massive turn when a scooter accident kept Bader out indefinitely, but the Giants were able to get out of paying him due to the nature of that injury.

Now that the 2026 season has concluded, the Giants president of baseball operations spoke at the annual General Managers Meetings in Las Vegas, where Posey said he expects an official update "soon," according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic.

This might not exactly be music to Giants fans' ears, but it'll be interesting to see how the veteran outfielder looks should he return next season.

Posey said once the update comes out, Bader will "still be in the organization."

The exact role remains to be seen, but at this point in his career, who is going to trade for Bader?

This is a guy who was hitting just .170 before he went down on May 29 and wouldn't return for the rest of the year.

Bader had a .222 batting average in the month of May, so it's clear he was starting to turn things around after he hit an abysmal .091 in 33 at-bats in April.

The right-handed hitter smashed five home runs in 106 at-bats this season with 14 RBIs.

Bader stole 11 bases in 2025 but didn't swipe a single bag this past season. He still went down as a 0.2 WAR player, but to no surprise, that was his lowest, by far, since a -0.3 WAR year in 2023.

Coming off a 4.2 WAR season in '25, no one saw this much of a downfall coming. Bader is currently on his seventh team in the last five years, but it doesn't seem like an eighth will be coming in '27.

This is a Giants team that still has a lot to figure out, and that includes Bader and what purpose he serves on this roster next season.
