Rafael Devers skipped first base workout with ex-Gold Glover in growing Giants concern
Actions always speak louder than words. Rafael Devers arrived in San Francisco seemingly ready to be a team player and try his hand at first base, but the ex-Red Sox third baseman has apparently not fulfilled that promise, apparently skipping out on a first base workout with a former Giants star. 'They don't yet know what is gonna happen with the player. I was there the second day. Will Clark was there to work on ground balls with him at first base, and Raffy didn't show up,' Red Sox play-by-play announcer Will Flemming said Monday on WEEI. 'So, that's the person that these guys have been dealing with for a long time.' Advertisement Giants third baseman Rafael Devers. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Clark, a six-time All-Star and Gold Glove first baseman with San Francisco in his playing days, gave his version of the story earlier in the week on his 'Deuces Wild' podcast. 'Friday, Saturday, Sunday, he did not come out early, at all. Period, not all. In fact, he didn't even hit on the field,' Clark said. 'Everybody's like, 'Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Will. I'm so sorry.'' Advertisement It appears to be a continuation of the frustrating situation that played out for Devers in Boston this season, as the slugger was asked to give up his spot at the hot corner for newly acquired Alex Bregman and take on designated hitter duties. 'Third base is my position,'' Devers said at Red Sox spring training in February. 'That's what I've played. I don't know what their plans are. I know we had a conversation. I made it clear what my desires were, and yeah, whatever happens from here, I don't know.' Former Giants first baseman Will Clark on his ''Deuces Wild' podcast. No Filter Network Advertisement When Boston later lost first baseman Triston Casas to injury, the team floated the idea of Devers playing first, which he quickly shut down, setting the stage for the blockbuster trade to the San Francisco in June. Devers has played 20 games for the Giants, all as a designated hitter, adding two home runs and nine RBIs. He'll have to pick up the glove sooner or later — Clark is planning to make sure of it. Advertisement 'But Rafael Devers, the next time I'm in San Francisco, your ass will be on the field at first base, just letting you know that,' Clark said. 'Even if I gotta go grab you by the f–king back of the neck and drag your ass out there, you will be at first base.'

Former Steelers, Lions, Giants scout Tim Rooney dies at 84
Tim Rooney, the nephew of Steelers founder Art Rooney Sr. and a long-time executive for the Steelers, Lions, and Giants has died. He was 84. Via Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Rooney passed on Tuesday morning, after a short bout with cancer. A coach at Villanova, Tim Rooney joined the Steelers in 1972, as one of four scouts. The others were Art Rooney Jr., Dick Haley and Bill Nunn. Tim Rooney served as director of pro scouting, where he scouted opponents and evaluated players already in the league. Per Fittipaldo, Tim Rooney is often credited for the drafting of Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Lambert. It was Tim Rooney who took coach Chuck Noll to watch Lambert play at Kent State. Tim Rooney stayed with the Steelers through 1979, the last of their four Super Bowl-winning seasons of the 1970s. After spending time with the Lions, the Giants hired Tim Rooney in 1985 as director of pro personnel. He stayed in that role until 1999, before later returning in a part-time capacity. Which means he won at least six Super Bowl rings during his NFL career. 'He was a great guy,' Hall of Fame head coach Bill Parcells said of Tim Rooney, via Fittipaldo. 'When you're a head coach, you need someone to tell you the truth. Tim was our pro personnel guy, and that was his job. We had daily interaction every day talking about the roster. We had a lot of talks and became close. That enhanced our relationship. He understood me, and I understood him.' We extend our condolences to Tim Rooney's family, friends, and colleagues.

Former Broncos Tight End Greg Dulcich Predicted to Be Cut by Giants
Former Broncos Tight End Greg Dulcich Predicted to Be Cut by Giants originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Denver Broncos' post-Super Bowl 50 era is littered with misfires, but few sting like cutting Greg Dulcich. The former UCLA star, drafted in 2022, flashed brilliance as a rookie tight end. Now, he's fighting for his NFL life with the New York Giants. Advertisement Dulcich burst onto the scene in 2022, snagging a 39-yard touchdown in his debut against the Los Angeles Chargers. He racked up 33 catches for 411 yards in 10 games, shining brightest in a London win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hopes soared for a dynamic playmaker. Injuries, however, derailed Dulcich's promise. Hamstring issues limited him to two games in 2023, and despite a healthy 2024 start, he dropped passes and missed blocks, leading to his release before the trade deadline. The Broncos' offense never recovered its spark. Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton during rookie minicamp at Broncos Park Powered by Chenoy-Imagn Images The Giants claimed Dulcich off waivers, but he saw zero targets in five games last season. Now, he competes with Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz, and rookie Thomas Fidone for a roster spot. At 24, Dulcich risks becoming a journeyman. Advertisement Ironically, his biggest ally might be Russell Wilson, the former Broncos quarterback who connected with him in 2022. Wilson, now on a one-year, $10.5 million guaranteed deal with the Giants, faces his own make-or-break season. Their Denver dreams fizzled, but can they reignite in New York? The 2025 season looms large, with the Giants facing the Broncos in a must-watch clash. Will Dulcich and Wilson salvage their careers, or fade into NFL obscurity? The answer will likely unfold this offseason.
