Quote from: kingm56 on April 29, 2024, 10:49:01 AMWhy do said tweets need to be an explicit message from the team? IMO, they represent nothing more than common sense based on facts.
It's well known the Giants attempted to trade up for Drake; it's also well known DJs contract has an escape clause after this season. It should also be known DJ hasn't been very good and/or healthy. Thus, do we/Dj need a message from the team that states the obvious?
Matt,
The two beat-writers I cited both post what the team wishes to be posted. While there were plenty of insiders reporting the Giants tried to trade up to the third pick to draft Maye, it was still pretty much rumor. With these two reports, I think it's fair to move it from rumor (with a strong possibility of being true) to now given fact.
To your question, I wouldn't say "need" but I would say, "it can't hurt"
