"As I told you guys, I’m taking it week-by-week," Shanahan said. "I’m going to continue to work with Jimmy over the bye week, here and there. We’ve got some rotations of some coaches doing that to catch him up. We’ll get a bonus practice next Monday, or a week from tomorrow where we get everyone back in and that will be to get everyone loose and get them back from their time off and we’ll see where it goes from there. Monday is an extra day and then we’ll start the evaluation Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, but it’s not just about C.J., it’s not just about Jimmy. There’s a lot of things that go into it.”
One thing that will definitely play into it is the right thumb injury Beathard suffered on his 11-yard touchdown run. Beathard injured the same thumb last week against Arizona and again played through it. If that ailment lingers, it could clear an easy path for Garoppolo to step in.
“I just wanted to stick it out there with those guys and finish," Beathard said. "I wanted to finish the game in a victory formation and be able to kneel the ball and that’s what we did. It was the first one of the year and it was just an awesome feeling.”

“I personally wish that he would take that charge and lead. Be a leader and try and unify us as a country. Step out of your comfort zone, swallow your pride, and, with humility, try to lead us back to together.”

-GRUDEN TO TENNESEE? WHY?
HOW MANY DO 49ERS HAVE?:
Interesting discussion on the "MTS" podcast. Championship teams have 8-10 "blue" players (Pro Bowl-caliber) on their rosters. @Jaguars might have 8 "blues" on defense alone. No.97, No.93, No.99, No.50, No.20 & No.21.. No.91 & No.44 could also grade as "blues"
-BUCKNER
-MAYBE GARAPOLLO - QB CONTROVERCY?
After the 49ers’ 31-21 win over the Giants on Sunday, Kyle Shanahan said C.J. Beathard’s breakout performance didn’t give him any pause on when he would play Jimmy Garoppolo. But a day later, Shanahan was striking a slightly different tone and, possibly, the 49ers aren’t as eager to wedge Garoppolo into a start any time soon.
“C.J. played pretty well, I thought he had his best game,” Shanahan said. “I thought he has gotten better each week in practice. He got to show it in the game the most. I thought the guys around him played their best game too, which definitely makes it easier to keep everyone out there and keep that going.”
Reading between the lines, Shanahan might be saying it could be hard to give Beathard the hook when he’s earning the admiration of his teammates and he’s playing well. Maybe Shanahan might have trouble in the locker room if he takes him out for Garoppolo.
It adds yet more complication in what’s developing into a quarterback controversy, dare we say. The 49ers have a week to mull their options and that includes a bye week in which Garoppolo will learn more the offense. Rehabilitating players like Trent Taylor (ribs) and the newly-acquired Louis Murphy will be around for Garoppolo to throw to.

MLB:
HOT STOVE:
LATEST ON GIANTS/STANTON:
- The Giants have at times given signals of going big for Stanton (or another expensive player) or instead trying to stay under the luxury tax line. But it seems the organization is engaged with the Marlins in earnest. Per MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro, via Twitter, the clubs are discussing Giants prospect Heliot Ramos as a possible element of a hypothetical return for Stanton. San Francisco is joined by at least three others in chasing the slugger at this point, he adds. (Those looking for subtle signals will also note that Giants GM Bobby Evans and Marlins president of baseball ops Michael Hill were spotted on a joint foyer foray this morning, as John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets.)
- Jon Heyman of Fan Rag, meanwhile, hears at least seven clubs have shown some level of interest in Stanton, noting that the Marlins front office is “encouraged” by the early dialogue. Front office sources from other organizations framed things a bit differently; ESPN.com’s Buster Olney tweets that there’s a perception that the Marlins are seeking a “shockingly high” package for the rights to pay Stanton at a premium rate, particularly since his deal includes an opt-out clause.
- Importantly, per Heyman, Miami is said to be open to hanging on to some of Stanton’s contract. Additionally, the team is focused on achieving value rather than on getting young pitching, specifically.
- While the Red Sox “may have checked in” on Stanton, they seem to be focused elsewhere. And the Dodgers haven’t engaged yet at all, Heyman adds. Both of those teams were highlighted by MLBTR as among the best fits on paper for the star slugger.
- Of course, Stanton’s own preferences hold the final say in any deal. While it’s far from certain, there are rumblings that Stanton is not inclined to approve a swap that would send him to the Cardinals or Red Sox, as Chad Jennings of the Boston Herald reports. That ties into the subject of leverage, which is a key issue for the Fish, as Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch explains in discussing the no-trade considerations. Since Miami would do well to keep its cards close to the vest with regard to Stanton’s preferences, that makes the information flow all the more notable in this case as the Marlins seek to maximize their return while finding a landing spot Stanton that will authorize.
OHTANI: COULD A GUY DO BOTH?:
- Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times discusses the Dodgers’ potential pitch for Japanese star Shohei Ohtani. While Ohtani’s two-way aspirations may seemingly make him a better fit for a smaller-market team in the American League — an organization, that is, that’s more willing and better situated to allow him to attempt the difficult task of both pitching and hitting at the game’s highest level — Hernandez posits that the Dodgers can offer as much and more. The Los Angeles front office will no doubt cook up some interesting possibilities for maximizing Ohtani’s abilities, suggests Hernandez, with the club’s immense rotation depth helping to make it possible.

CAN GIANTS EVEN AFFORD JD?
he Red Sox were the overwhelming favorite when it came to the question of Martinez’s next team, though expectations for his contract varied in size. One GM pegged Martinez at around six years and $140MM, Crasnick notes. Some execs felt he’d fall closer to Justin Upton’s $106MM guarantee.

CAVS TAKE OVER NEW YORK
LeBron James and his Cavs took on the Knicks at MSG last night after a long day in the city. It started when the team opted to avoid traffic and take the subway. This led to a new viral star, the "can you not" guy (who later admitted he had no idea he was talking to a NBA team). As for the game, it saw a great LeBron vs. Enes Kantershowdown, a huge Cavs comeback victory and more LeBron-Kanter postgame antics.
