Now that the Warriors have gone from laughingstocks to super team, Marcus Thompson told Tolbert & Lund Friday evening he wants the Lakers to improve and renew their rivalry with Golden State.

According to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he isn’t just yet, and has the remainder of the 2017 season to prove that he should be the guy. If he doesn’t, the 49ers have other options in free agency or the draft they could explore.

While making an appearance on KNBR’s Hot Stove, Crawford gave his due credits to those who helped him along in his major league career, specifically Jose Alguacil and Ron Wotus.

When the 49ers shockingly traded for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo two weeks ago, most assumed it was an aggressive move by John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan to snatch the franchise’s QB of the future. Garoppolo may end up being that, but according to ESPN Insider Adam Schefter, the situation is a little more complicated.

With the 49ers’ stretch of three consecutive playoff appearances from 2011-2013 a distant memory, John Middlekauff said on the Haberman and Middlekauff Podcast that C.J. Beathard is paying the price for former general manager Trent Baalke’s mistakes.

Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow praised the decision to bring back Sandoval when he joined Murph & Mac on Monday morning, but said he also expects the team to sign an everyday third-baseman this offseason.

The 49ers may have signed their silver lining, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, last week, but reports that he may not even play season ensured another questionable turnout at Levi’s on Sunday. 49ers beat writer Matt Barrows joined Gary & Larry on Monday, and agreed with Gary’s take that if Garoppolo continues to sit on the bench, the fans are going to become less and less interested in this team.

Giants beat writer extraordinaire Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News joined Murph and Mac on Monday morning, to give a look ahead on what is sure to be an extremely important offseason for the Orange and Black.

After a camera caught Steve Kerr…cursing at the officials on Thursday night, the head coach told Tolbert & Lund how his family reacted afterwards.

Jimmy Garopollo will not start for the 49ers this Sunday and not only does Guy Haberman agree with this decision, but he said on the Haberman & Middlekauff Podcast that he’d rather see the promising quarterback not play at all this season.
