The Giants still have interest in trading for former NL MVP Andrew McCutchen, and trade talks resumed this week, according to a report by Jon Morosi of MLB Network.

The University of Texas revealed on Thursday morning that KD has donated $3 million dollars to the school, to support Texas Basketball and the Center for Sports Leadership and Innovation. The donation is the largest by a former-student athlete in school history.

Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper believes that Major League Baseball’s new collective bargaining agreement is to blame for the unseasonably slow start to the hot-stove league. The new competitive balance tax now financially penalizes teams whose payrolls exceed $197 million, and can also lead to teams having to forfeit draft picks and lose international spending money.

While making an appearance on Murph & Mac Tuesday morning, former Giant and now broadcaster Mike Krukow shared how he’d vote for the top Giants players of the 1980s in KNBR’s Teams of the Decades poll.

Jimmy Garoppolo and 49ers general manager John Lynch have said different things about their impending contract negotiations, an that’s not surprising as they both seek leverage.

NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport was pretty explicit about the likelihood of Gruden to the Raiders when he joined Murph & Mac on Tuesday morning.
