Meanwhile, the Giants' acquisition of J.J. McCarthy behind Jameis Winston sparked debate on when he might challenge for the starting job, while John Harbaugh weighed in on both QBs and confirmed Brian Burns is lost for the season. Mets president David Stearns addressed Pete Alonso's year and the constant pressure to construct a winner.

McCarthy will eventually challenge Jameis Winston—though Boomer insists Jameis gives them the best chance to win this week.
