Golden Nuggets: Return of the Jed-i
49ers claim former Rams CB Tre Tomlinson off waivers
“Tomlinson (5-9, 177) was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the sixth round (182nd overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft. Throughout his two-year career, Tomlinson has appeared in 15 games and registered five tackles in addition to eight special teams tackles. He also appeared in one postseason contest with the Rams.”
A 49ers organizational reset: Why Jed York figures to take a more ruthless approach (paywall)
“Suffice it to say that inside the 49ers’ training facility, Shanahan’s sprint did not age well. To be precise, Aiyuk’s four-year, $120-million extension began aging poorly four weeks after the player put pen to ink, when he threw a practice-field tantrum upon being told by Shanahan to change from red to black mesh shorts.
In the wake of a 6-11 season, a more significant change has taken place. Going “all in” is out; coach-driven emotion is no longer a guiding principle. The 49ers are attempting to be cold, calculated and analytical when it comes to roster decisions, an organizational reset that coincides with the negotiation of a massive contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy.”
What 49ers would be admitting if they trade Aiyuk this offseason
“Last offseason, some in San Francisco’s organization wondered if Aiyuk even wanted to play football, considering how he showed little urgency to end his “hold in” and get back on the field.
One day after coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch’s public tone changed to exasperation, a contract extension was completed.
The deal closed the door on potential trades to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New England Patriots and the Cleveland Browns.
A deal was in place to send Aiyuk to the Browns for Amari Cooper, second- and fifth-round draft picks, NBC Sports Bay Area reported at the time. The 49ers had already agreed in principle to other trades, too.”
49ers expected to target another suddenly available Pro Bowl DL: Jonathan Allen (paywall)
“The 49ers’ trade interest in Allen came when he was scheduled to earn $17 million in salary in 2025. He’s now on the open market in a year in which the lack of marquee players in free agency could drive prices up.
General manager John Lynch said last week that he expected established defensive tackles to be rewarded handsomely in free agency, noting the 49ers probably couldn’t re-sign Hargrave, 32, once he was released.
“I think that the D-tackle market’s going to be — it’s a premium position and they typically do well,” Lynch said. “And even Javon who’s coming off the triceps — I think he’s well on his way to being healthy, and I think it’d be a robust market.”
Kawakami’s 49ers offseason predictions: Adding a Bosa, Purdy’s deal date, and more
“But Aiyuk isn’t exactly at peak trade value as he rehabs from a torn ACL — he might not be ready until a month or so into the regular season — and it’d be self-defeating to discard him for anything less than a second-day draft pick (which I don’t think they’re going to get).
If the 49ers trade Aiyuk so soon after trading Deebo, they’d be absorbing almost $50 million in combined dead money on this year’s cap to nothave either on the team anymore. That doesn’t seem too wise. I think cooler heads should and will prevail.”
49ers mock draft: Mykel Williams among the 7 most likely candidates at pick No. 11 (paywall)
“Williams has the length (6-5, 34 3/8-inch arms) the 49ers like, he rarely gets shoved around and he has the burst — the GTFO, in 49ers’ parlance — the teams likes.”
The San Francisco Giants selected Rutgers outfielder Peyton Bonds in the third round (90th overall) of the MLB draft on Saturday.
You might note the name Bonds and the Giants and wonder. You’re mostly right.
Bonds is the son of Bobby Bonds Jr. (11-year minor league veteran, spending four seasons in the Giants’ system), the grandson of Bobby Bonds (14-year big league veteran who played seven years for the Giants and amassed 57.2 career WAR) and the nephew of Barry Bonds (seven-time MVP, all-time home run king, 22-year veteran, with 15 of those campaigns playing for the Giants).
This wasn’t a nepotism or a feel-good pick: Peyton Bonds is a real talent. He ranked 115th in ESPN’s final draft rankings, which included a number of high school players ahead of him who will be going to college instead of turning pro. Based on his talent, selecting Bonds in the third round was appropriate.
The 6-foot-5, 230-pound outfielder played for Campbell in 2024 then at Rutgers in 2025 and 2026, hitting .305 with 16 home runs over three college seasons. He hit .352 with six home runs and 13 stolen bases this past season.
Bonds has plus raw power like many of his family members. He hit a ball 111.2 mph off a wood bat in batting practice at the MLB draft combine and with a maximum exit velocity of 120.7 mph with aluminum in a game this spring.
Bonds also has above-average bat-to-ball ability (.352 batting average this past season), but a poor chase rate (39%, well worse than average). He is a solid average runner, with enough speed to steal a few bases and possibly stick in center field long term.
Four people were arrested and three others were cited following a fight that took place following a San Francisco Giants game at Oracle Park Thursday night.
According to San Francisco police, the fight broke out at 9:46 p.m., after the matchup between the Giants and Colorado Rockies in which San Francisco won 8-2. Officers working at the ballpark responded and detained seven people who were involved.
A preliminary investigation by police determined that the altercation was result of a verbal dispute that turned physical.
Officers said they developed probable cause to place four people under arrest. Police identified those arrested as 29-year-old Major Norton of Suisun City, 21-year-old Jaylynn Del Toro of Fresno, 23-year-old Elijah Ortega- Garcia of Selma in Fresno County and 26-year-old Gisselle Lopez of Vallejo.
All four were booked into San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of disturbing the peace and public intoxication. Norton was also booked on suspicion of assault likely to produce great bodily injury.
Three people were cited for disturbing the peace and released. Police did not provide additional details about the fight.
In a statement to CBS News Bay Area, a Giants spokesperson said the incident “was a horrible and intolerable display of behavior.”
“SFPD made multiple arrests and those involved will be banned from the park,” the team added.
The Giants are in the middle of a four-game series with the Rockies, which concludes on Sunday. Both teams are at the bottom of the National League West standings heading into next week’s All-Star break.
Coffee, croissants and classical music brought office workers, residents and visitors together at One Sansome as the free monthly Baroque & Brew series transformed a weekday morning into a community gathering in downtown San Francisco.
The event, held inside the Conservatory at One Sansome, featured live performances by Philharmonia Baroque and invited attendees to enjoy music in the landmark building’s 8,100-square-foot atrium.
Guests were free to sit or stand while listening, with many nearby office workers stopping in during an early lunch break.
The monthly series is scheduled to return in August and September and aims to bring together downtown workers and neighbors through music and shared public space.
“It’s a beautiful opportunity to have coffee, to be in community, and do what our city is known for—the art, the culture—and to share it with each other,” attendee Roger Joyner said. “It’s a beautiful summertime moment.”
Joyner said events like Baroque & Brew reflect the character of the city.
“I think that’s what San Francisco is meant to be…a city that offers culture and the beauty of art to the world. And we that live here get to enjoy it,” he said.
Organizers said the performances are intended to make live classical music more accessible while contributing to ongoing efforts to revitalize downtown San Francisco.
“It’s just a really nice way for us to get the music out of the concert hall to the people downtown, trying to reactivate Downtown San Francisco and show what a welcoming place we can be as a city,” said Isaac Bunch, general manager of Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale.
For Joyner, the event also offered a chance to pause amid the pace of daily life.
“We get to take a break. We are hustle and bustle, doing what we do to make the city work, and then we get refreshed by it,” he said. “I think it’s great — it brings it right into the middle of our hub.”
The gathering highlighted how music, conversation and public spaces can bring people together as downtown San Francisco continues its recovery.
