USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported on Thursday morning that the Giants drew up a three-year contract for Jay Bruce, but their offer was $10 million less than the $39 million he received from the New York Mets.

Heading into the 2017 regular season, it would’ve been a wild take to say the 49ers had a better five year outlook than the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders were coming off a 12-4 season, and had what looked to be young, franchise players on both sides of the ball. San Francisco, on the other hand, was trotting out their third head coach in as many years, and didn’t have an NFL caliber starting quarterback on their roster.

Former 49ers tight end Brent Jones knows a thing or two about winning playoff games. A three-time Super Bowl champion, Jones won a whopping 14 career postseason games as a member of the 49ers from 1988-1998.

At the season’s halfway point, Golden State has weathered injuries to Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green to post a 33-8 record, a strong enough mark to push the Warriors 4.0 games ahead of the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference.

Acquiring quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo from the Patriots for just a second-round draft pick, may go down as one of the better trades in the history of Bay Area sports.

It was turn back the clock night at Oracle Arena, but it wasn’t sponsored by the Golden State Warriors. Instead, the Denver Nuggets brought a rather retro approach to the defensive side of the floor.

The San Francisco 49ers announced on Monday that the team has named Ken Norton Jr. assistant head coach – defense/inside linebackers. In addition, Johnny Holland will become the team’s run game specialist/outside linebackers coach and Michael Clay will become an assistant special teams coach.

During an interview with MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM, Evan Longoria shared how he’s working to get aquatinted with his new teammates.

After saying that tensions between NBA referees are “ruining the game,” and that things have gotten “personal,” Draymond Green was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Monday for “public criticism of officiating.”

Kevin Durant will miss Saturday’s home game vs. the Denver Nuggets, his third straight, with a calf injury, the team announced Monday. Everybody else is expected to play.
