Josh Hader apologized after racist and homophobic old tweets resurfaced during the All-Star Game on.si.com/2zKMw6A

Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale)
Brewers reliever Josh Hader said his racist and homophobic tweets were a sign of immaturity when he was 17 and plans to apologize to his teammates, saying they don’t reflect on him as a person now. ‘No excuses. I was dumb and stupid.

-THE STRANGE STORY OF JOSH HADER.....BAD GME ---GAVE UP THE JACK TO SEGURA, WORSE---OLD RACIST, SEXIST TWEETS SUFACE FROM WHEN HE WAS 17 ---FAMILY HAD TO PUT ON GENERIC JERSEYS, HE HAD TO APLOGIZE---

ANGELS WITH AN FU TO MLB RE: TROUT AND MARKETING

GIANTS:

-HAD TO GIVE BUSTER THE DEAL, BUI THE TALK OF HE CALLS A GOOD GAME, MANY VETS CAN DO THAT AND IT DOESN;T COST 22M. HE'S AN UNTRADEABLE ASSET. GIANTS ALWAYS PAY FOR PAST PERFORMACNE.

-GIANTS 2ND HALF: PLAYOFFS NO PLAYOFFS, BUYERS - SELLERS - WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

-I THINK DODGERS WIN DIVISION RATHER EASILY, 2ND HALF FIRST 10 GAMES WILL TELLU US ALOT

-IF I'M SABEAN - IM NOT OVERLY AGRESSIVE........

-KEEP HEARING GIANTS ARE ALL IN ON BRYCE---IF HE WAS OFFERED

-BIGGEST CONTRACT IS STANTON AT $325M / 13 YEARS , 25M PER.
-BIGGEST PER YEAR IS GRIENKE 5-206 (34M PER)

-HARPER WILL BE 26 IN OCTOBER:

-8 YEARS $41M PER --328M --MOST MONEY AND MOST PER YEAR ---PROBABLY WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO PUT HIM IN SF...

Now reportedly under the $197 million collective bargaining tax (CBT) and with an aging offensive core, the Giants will undoubtedly be in a position to put forth a lucrative offer for Harper’s services, likely to cost around $31 million per year according to Spotrac.
Longtime San Francisco Chronicle baseball writer John Shea believes the Giants will indeed do everything they can to acquire Harper, 25, next season, but concedes that landing the six-time All-Star will be a long shot.
“I think they are going to be all in and I think they are probably going to be either outbid or outmanned,” Shea told Murph & Mac Tuesday morning. “In other words, there’s going be a team that’s winning more now and doesn’t have an older squad, maybe an older coaching staff that might not be around for this entire duration with his new team.
“Why did Giancarlo Stanton go to the Yankees instead of the Giants? Well it was pretty clear that he knew it’s the Yankees, it’s the Bronx, it’s the zoo, and all that, but as well it was the fact that the Yankees were winning now and the Giants weren’t, I mean they were coming off 98 losses. They just cracked two games over .500 after the break, so there’s no guarantee.
“I’ve heard people who know Harper well that say there’s no way he would agree — even though he lives in Vegas — to the Giants, but I’ve also heard that he’d leave every option open. It seems to me that it’s a long shot but yes, they are under the $197, they made the trade a week and a half ago to stay under the $197 while calling up (Steven) Duggar and (Ray) Black, but I just don’t see it happening.
“I think it’s going to be a long shot but I think they’re all in.”
Harper is having a solid, but down season by his standards in 2018, posting a slash line of .214/.365/.468 with 23 home runs and 54 RBI.




SHULMAN AND LARRY ON HOW TO REBUILD GIANTS: WOULD THEY EVER GO INTO REBUILD - HOW MUCH WOULD THAT AFFECT YOU AND YOUR FANDOM?


Larry Krueger (@sportslarryknbr)
⁦‪@hankschulman‬⁩ ⁦‪@saintgraves‬⁩ ⁦‪@KNBR‬⁩ Not calling anybody out, just disagreeing that you can't have top prospects to trade without "tanking". I'm Just pointing out that Boston, New York, Cleveland, and others have top level prospects to deal and never really had a "tank"ing season.


Henry Schulman (@hankschulman)
... Even the Astros have fallen from second to fourth to 10th because they used their big prospects to fill their Series-winning team and trade for guys like Verlander and Giles. And by the way, ⁦‪@sportslarryknbr‬⁩, while #SFGiants are 26th, Indians were 22nd, Bosox 24th.

Henry Schulman (@hankschulman)
Baseball America's Top 10 system rankings, in order: Braves, Yankees, Padres, White Sox, Rays, Phillies, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Reds, Astros. All but Dodgers -- who are gold standard -- either tanked on purpose, just were bad or in Yankees case had one big fire sale......
Henry Schulman (@hankschulman)
⁦‪@sportslarryknbr‬⁩ ⁦‪@saintgraves‬⁩ ⁦‪@KNBR‬⁩ ... that the majority of teams that have farm systems that are, quote-unquote, "loaded" got that way by tanking to build a great stable of draft picks or at least gave up on seasons to buff up their systems through trades. #SFGiants just aren't going to do that.


Henry Schulman (@hankschulman)
⁦‪@sportslarryknbr‬⁩ ⁦‪@saintgraves‬⁩ ⁦‪@KNBR‬⁩ Larry has a point. I over-generalized. The Yankees didn't tank, but they did surrender and give up two of the best relievers in the game to build what was not a great farm system. LA, Boston, couple others are great at winning while developing good systems, but you can't deny...


IF I'M A'S IM NOT OVERLY AGRESSIVE AND BILLY STILL MIGHT BE A SELLER

ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo)
There have been 6 seasons in MLB history in which 3 teams won 100 games, but there’s never been a season in which 3 teams from the same league won 100 games.

That could change this season as the ⁦‪@RedSox‬⁩⁦‪@astros‬⁩ and ⁦‪@Yankees‬⁩ are all projected to win 100+ games. pic.twitter.com/GGTQdhIMlv


MLB POLL:

Earlier this week, The Athletic polled over 240 current MLB players, asking them 21 questions ranging from who the most intimidating pitcher in baseball is, to which city has the worst fans.
A few Giants players made their way onto the list, including All-Star starter Brandon Crawford, who was voted as the third best defensive player in the league, receiving 10.5 percent of the vote and finishing behind the Angels’ Andrelton Simmons (25.3 percent) and Nolan Arenado of the Rockies (14.7 percent). Interestingly, Crawford also received multiple votes as the league’s most underrated player.
