After months of being steeped in draft rumors, mock drafts, and scouting reports, we’ll finally find out who will be the newest member of the New York Giants. On Thursday night. But it isn’t quite Thursday yet, so we wanted to check in with fans to see who they want their team to draft. Should the Giants play it safe and hope that drafting a receiver like Rome Odunze or Malik Nabers will unlock the rest of the offense? Or should they swing for the fences and hope that a new quarterback will (in 2025) allow Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt, or Wan’Dale Robinson to explode in the same way that Nico Collins benefitted from C.J. Stroud? Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in New York Giants fans and fans across the country.

It opened with a baffling ejection of Aaron Boone, and ended with the Yankees getting shut out, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge getting obliterated by Oakland closer Mason Miller in the ninth. The Yankees offense has largely been much this year than last, but the 2023 offense has certainly showed up a few more times than is comfortable. After the odd afternoon start on Monday, we’re back to a standard 7 p.m. EST start time today. Ahead of the game, check out Sam’s review of Monday’s AL action in the morning, as well as Jeff’s entry in the 1999 Yankees diary. Also, Smith recaps the last week down on the farm, Esteban analyzes Aaron Judge for his At-Bat of the Week, Andrés breaks down Anthony Volpe’s mini slump, and Nick Power reflects on some recent trades between the Yankees and the A’s, with the Athletics are in town for four games. Today’s Matchup: New York Yankees vs. Oakland Athletics Time: 7:05 p.m. ET TV: YES, NBCSCA Radio: WFAN 660/101.9 FM Venue: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY Questions/Prompts: 1. Before yesterday’s putrid offensive performance, the Yankees did enter the day with a strong 112 wRC+. Will they end the season with a figure above or below that mark? 2. All five AL East teams are above .500 right now. What are the odds all five finish above .500?

Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt threw out manager Aaron Boone from the game for something that a fan said. Boone had some comments about a play during the first inning, but Wendelstedt gave him a warning and the Yanks’ skipper didn’t say anything else. After the next pitch, the home plate umpire heard more yapping behind his back and assumed it was from the Yankees’ dugout, and decided to eject Boone even though it was a fan who was shouting things at Wendelstedt. After the game, Boone said the whole sequence was “embarrassing” and that he planned to reach out to MLB. Wendelstedt, even when presented with the evidence, doubled down on his decision: “Apparently what he said was there was a fan right above the dugout (...) I have never ejected a player or a manager for something a fan has said. I understand that’s going to be part of the story or something like that because that’s what Aaron was portraying. I heard something come from the far end of the dugout, had nothing to do with his area, but he’s the manager of the Yankees. So he’s the one that had to go.” Welp. NJ Advance Media | Bridget Hyland: It’s fair to say a lot of people in Boston wanted the Red Sox to get rid of Alex Verdugo over the winter. Well, the Yankees, after the outfield depth issues they had last season, traded for him and he is doing just fine in the Bronx. The player is a strong dugout presence and is performing well. Not only that, but he said the Yankees’ clubhouse is “probably the favorite clubhouse I’ve ever been in. It’s a very close-knit, tight-knit group.” The Yankees had to surrender Richard Fitts, Greg Weissert, and Nicholas Judice to get Verdugo, but their outfield depth (and their clubhouse chemistry, apparently) is much, much better in 2024. New York Post | Dan Martin: Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón had his best outing of the season on Monday. Even though it was in a losing effort, he managed to drop his ERA to a fine 2.70 after tossing seven scoreless frames, with one hit, two walks and four strikeouts. The southpaw gutted out a fantastic performance, even if his velo was “slightly” down per Boone. The strikeout stuff still isn’t quite there, but Rodón has given the Yankees some strong games this season.
