Much will be missed about this Masters -- no Par-3 Tournament, no patrons, no merchandise tents -- but there is also much to celebrate. Let's start with the fact that, even amid a global pandemic, Augusta National was able to safely arrange for the Masters to be played at all.
First half in two words: Injury ravaged. Yes, plenty of teams have been hit hard by injury, but none to the devastating extent of the 49ers. Nine games into their season, the Niners have $80.8 million worth of cap space on injured reserve, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. NFL teams are loathe to use injuries as an excuse for performance, but what's happened with San Francisco has been so overwhelming that there's just no other way to define its season so far.
Biggest question left to answer: Who will be the quarterback in 2021 and beyond? Jimmy Garoppolo is set to count about $27 million against the cap in each of the next two seasons, and if he doesn't play again this season (he's on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain), he will have missed 23 games in three full seasons with the Niners. Beyond that, there are still questions about whether Garoppolo can elevate his game to take coach Kyle Shanahan's offense to the next level even when healthy. Of course, for the Niners to decide to go in a different direction at quarterback, they must first be sure they can get somebody better. Garoppolo, despite his struggles, is still 26-9 as a starter, including the postseason. How the 49ers finish the season will go a long way in determining the options available to them.
Who is playing for his job in 2021? Whoever is playing quarterback. Garoppolo could miss the rest of the season with a second high ankle sprain, though there's hope that he could return late if the Niners are still in the mix. In the meantime, Nick Mullens and C.J. Beathard are the two remaining signal-callers, and both have something to prove. Mullens is a restricted free agent and Beathard is unrestricted after the season. The Niners are going to have many questions about this position going into the offseason, and it would benefit them to get some sort of clarity on where any or all of Garoppolo, Mullens and Beathard fit for 2021.
Final record prediction: 6-10. Finding many more wins for the 49ers as currently constructed is a difficult exercise given that five of their seven remaining games are against teams with winning records and playoff aspirations. At some point, the Niners will get some key players back from injury, but probably not enough to push them back into playoff contention. -- Nick Wagoner

Giants say 'everything is on the table'
The Giants missed the postseason by one game in 2020 -- they finished with the same record (29-31) as the Brewers but Milwaukee held the tiebreaker and got the No. 8 seed -- and they are going into the offseason with an open mind, according to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic. President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said the team is open to anything. Here's what Zaidi told Baggarly:
KEN ROSENTHAL: THERE’S A MARKET FOR KEVIN GAUSMAN
Do not assume Kevin Gausman will take the qualifying offer. Gausman has received multi-year offers, sources say. The Giants, who extended him the QO, are thought to be among the teams involved in the multi-year discussions.
