Mike Kafka’s Giants contract could cause another complicated offseason
NY Post
Mike Kafka’s future could turn in a lot of different directions.
The Giants assistant head coach/offensive coordinator revealed Thursday that he is under contract in 2025, which means he can be blocked from interviewing to make a lateral move even though another team might allow him to regain the play-calling responsibilities that he lost to head coach Brian Daboll after the 2023 season.
So, maybe Kafka is back in the same role.
After all, Daboll already said that he wants to retain Kafka.
Then again, Daboll is not a lock to keep his job just yet.
And a new head coach would mean big staff changes.
Even after the Rangers snapped their four-game losing streak with a win over the Bruins on Thursday night, the hole they have to climb out of to get back into the playoff picture is no joke.
At this point in the offseason, the Yankees have a pretty good idea of what the back end of their bullpen will look like, with newly acquired Devin Williams sliding into the closer role and Luke Weaver setting up the ex-Brewer and finishing games on occasion.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Karl-Anthony Towns’ market bump in the All-Star voting didn’t go unnoticed by his teammate.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Isaiah Hartenstein played his former team Friday on a production binge with the Thunder.
Normally, when a team signs a player just two years removed from winning an MVP award, there aren’t many questions about how he’ll play in the near future.
Mike Kafka’s future could turn in a lot of different directions.
Before he was a Tush Push expert, Jalen Hurts was the type of gift that could make every downtrodden Giants fan feel differently about last week’s win.
If the Rangers are going to make history by coming from seven points back of a playoff spot the first week of January with seven teams to pass in order to qualify for the tournament, then Jonathan Quick is not a bad place to start.
Karl-Anthony Towns was coached by Tom Thibodeau for 2 ¹/₂ seasons early in his NBA career in Minnesota, and they didn’t always see eye-to-eye over the young big man’s development.
As per usual, the loudest boos were reserved for John Tavares when the Maple Leafs visited UBS Arena.
