Circled back with Jazz to ask him if he thought he had a chance to tag Yandy if he fielded the ball cleanly. "The only play at that point, you can't get Chandler at home. The best thing I was going to do is try to swing at (Yandy) and hopefully he backed out of the line and they call him out of the baseline and throw it to first base and get that double play. That was the best chance we had. If I didn't get the tag or the out of the baseline, it would've been the same result. I don't know if he was close. I don't know. You guys would have to tell me because I didn't get to really look up. The ball was on the ground."

Here's Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s explanation for the final play: "I was really gonna tag the runner and throw it to first. I don't know what the rule is, if I went to first base first and threw it back to second if it's an out. Is it still a double play? I don't know. Does it count as not an RBI?" Trent Grisham interjects. "They'll score." Jazz: "They'll still score?" Trent: "They'll get there before the tag at second."

ESPN sources: Giants All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade and he will not be participating in the team’s off-season workout program that opens Tuesday. Lawrence and the Giants have been through two off seasons attempting to negotiate a contract reflecting his value to the Giants over the last three years, but there has not been any progress, per sources.

Ryan McMahon since being traded to the Yankees: 63 G, 214 PA .192/.304/.302 .606 OPS .278 wOBA | .294 xwOBA 4 HR 77 wRC+ 4 DRS | 1 OAA | 1 FRV 0.4 fWAR wasn’t expecting too much but still got disappointed.

It's still very early in the season, but the Yankees entered today's game with the worst 6-7-8-9 hitters in baseball. Those spots had a combined 22 wRC+ before today's game. They are currently 0-for-6 with 3 Ks today.

For the 5th pick I'm still putting my $20 on Sonny Styles over Caleb Downs to the Giants. John Harbaugh: "If they run the ball for 4, 5 yards, that is the end of the world. That's a disaster. If it breaks out past that, we can't even breathe...We want the run stopped... "We want the run stoned." Harbaugh wants a big, physical, all-weather defense that mirrors the championship Giants teams of the past. Styles is 5 inches taller & 40 pounds heavier than the safety, Downs. He's going to look awfully good walking off that bus and then staring across the line at the QB. If the Titans don't take Jeremiyah Love, it gets very interesting. But first and foremost, what's worked for the Giants when they've won Super Bowls is that nasty defense...followed by a strong offensive line....followed by opportunistic QBs who weren't superstars but who could play like a superstar when it mattered most (Simms, Eli). Priority No. 1 for Harbaugh is stopping the run, as he made clear again at the league meetings. And Styles-an elite athlete who doesn't miss tackles-meets that objective more than any candidate for pick No. 5. Yeah, the Giants signed Tremaine Edmunds for 3 years. But Harbaugh wants to coach the NYG for at least 10 years. Downs would be a great pick too and JH loves his gifted, versatile safeties. Styles just makes a bit more sense.
