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.

Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow didn’t seem that bummed that the Giants passed on Bruce when he joined Murph & Mac Thursday morning, and argued that the 10-year veteran might not have been the greatest fit in San Francisco.

If worse comes to worse this offseason, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle told KNBR Tonight that the Giants are not afraid to go over the luxury tax threshold in order to solve their outfield problems.

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.

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.

Golden State head coach Steve Kerr said afterward that he was barely phased by the milestone, particularly because Kevin Durant is so accomplished.

Due to Steph Curry’s absence and a scheduled rest for his Splash Brother Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant was forced to shoulder the Warriors’ scoring load after missing the past three games due to a calf strain.

Mr. 20,000.
