Giants push owner-led, collaborative overhaul as Harbaugh and Schoen outline new structure

The parties reference a “agree to agree” mindset to align personalities and processes, aiming to integrate analytics, salary-cap work, and coaching with minimal silos. The discussion also touched on Steve Tisch’s involvement in outside matters, with both declining further comment, and Harbaugh emphasizing system-building to ensure all veteran play-callers work in concert.

Spring Training Chaos Produces an Unprecedented Giants–Cubs Triple Play

In Scottsdale spring training, the San Francisco Giants pulled off a one-of-a-kind 4-3-6-5 triple play against the Cubs after a smoke alarm caused chaos in the stands and a bloop single started the bizarre sequence. Robbie Ray walked two and allowed a single, yet the chaos led to an inning-ending triple play highlighted by Willy Adames tagging two runners at third and Matt Chapman tagging the final baserunner. The play is notable for starting with a base hit, something SABR notes as unprecedented; manager Tony Vitello and players call it a memorable, humorous spring moment rather than a regular-season feat.

Harbaugh at the center as NFL coaching carousel gets graded

The New York Post’s Ryan Dunleavy grades the NFL’s 10 offseason head-coach hires, noting the 2022 class was notorious for quick firings and arguing that this year’s group may not fare much better. The piece highlights teams like the Giants, Dolphins and Raiders as repeat participants from 2022 to 2026 and discusses where John Harbaugh’s name fits into the Giants’ potential move. It ranks each team’s decision and points out that even well-known hires (e.g., Stefanski to Atlanta, McCarthy to Pittsburgh, Saleh in Tennessee) face skepticism, given the poor recent track record of coaching changes.

Harbaugh Could Rework the Giants’ Money Playbook

The article analyzes how John Harbaugh’s Giants hire could reshape the team’s spending, noting New York sits about $8.3 million in the red in effective cap space after Daniel Jones’s 2025 dead money and how a series of restructures (simple or maximum) could unlock substantial cap room—potentially $51.8M to $117.2M—depending on strategy. It also outlines plausible pre-June 1 cuts (e.g., Gano, Singletary, Hudson) and players like Okereke, Runyan Jr., JMS, and RRH as candidates to free cap, while highlighting Void-year tactics to fund better signings. The piece compares the Giants’ finances to the Ravens and Eagles and suggests we’ll gauge Harbaugh’s impact on spending in the March free-agent period to determine how aggressive the Giants will be under ownership and Schoen.

Harbaugh has cited Coughlin as a key influence, and Slayton argues a demanding, disciplined coach could unlock a Cruz-like breakthrough for a developing quarterback (Jaxson Dart) and push the Giants back toward contention. The piece ties historic Giants leadership to a current pursuit of a hard-nosed, proven presence to steady the franchise.
