Buster Posey does not like to lose.

The three-time World Series champ-turned-president of baseball operations for the Giants has made that clear over the years, especially to his ace pitcher Logan Webb.

Webb joined KNBR’s Greg Papa and Greg Silver on Tuesday and discussed the current state of Giants affairs and gave plenty of praise to the first-year front office executive.

“If there’s one thing that Giants fans, baseball fans and all of us know about Buster Posey, it’s that he’s not OK with losing,” Webb told Papa and Silver. “He doesn’t like to lose, doesn’t want to lose and I think that’s just, kind of, it’s part of his nature.

“He wants to win. He wants to see winning and that’s huge. We feel it, we feel that every time he walks into our clubhouse. I got to feel it when I played with him. He was the guy you just didn’t want to disappoint, you wanted to win for him, right?

“And it’s kind of the same thing and I think him going out and getting a guy like [Rafael Devers] … it shows, you know, going out and getting Willy this year, signing [Matt Chapman] last year, going out and getting [Justin Verlander]. There’s a lot of things that he’s done that just show that he really believes in this, he loves San Francisco, he wants us to win, he wants the Giants to be successful.”

The trade with the Boston Red Sox for Devers shocked the baseball world when it happened last month and while the 28-year-old designated hitter has struggled with the club, it’s still very apparent that the Giants are in win-now mode.

Webb also mentioned the upcoming trade deadline and while he didn’t say anything about more moves being made, with the team sitting at 50-42 and second place in the NL West, it wouldn’t be surprising.

The team currently holds a one-game lead over the San Diego Padres for the third and final National League Wild Card spot.

“It’s very refreshing and obviously, just love being a Giant and I love that he’s the leader of this whole thing,” said Webb.

It’s always a benefit at a job to like your boss and it seems Webb is very happy with Posey at the helm.
