Cornerback Deonte Banks' fifth-year option is being declined by the Giants. Hardly a surprise given his struggles the past few seasons.
Essentially the Giants declined to pick up an option that would have put Banks under contract in 2027 for $12.633 million. Instead, he’s fighting for playing time with second-round pick Colton Hood and free-agent signing Greg Newsome in his way.
"Not good enough, obviously. Not a secret. That's not going to do it. You've got to start winning series, period."
Carlos Mendoza on the Mets' 3-6 homestand:
"We are in this together. I feel really good with how the hitting coaches are preparing."
Carlos Mendoza was asked how much the Mets' offensive struggles fall on the hitting coaches:
If you’re willing to break the record for guaranteed money to a running back, you don’t need to draft one at all. You can just sign an elite back in free agency and use that extremely valuable pick on a position that saves you money. Cardinals get the biggest F- draft grade ever
