Yasiel Puig wants to be Jared Goff's friend, even if the feeling isn't quite mutual
What do we know about Jared Goff, yesterday's No. 1 NFL Draft pick? We know he was born in California, that he spent his college football career at UC Berkeley and that his dad had a few cups of coffee in MLB in the '90s. So it's no surprise that Goff is a baseball fan, and apparently, he cheers for the Giants:
MadBum baby!

But on Thursday night, he was drafted by the Rams. You know, the now-Los Angeles Rams, the city with a baseball team Giants fans don't take particularly kindly to:
I really hope Yasiel Puig gets a fastball in his ribs tomorrow

Luckily for him, Puig seems ready to bury the hatchet:
@JaredGoff16 Big hug, Welcome to LA, I show you around, be my guest to @Dodgers game #PuigYourFriend #PuigNotLate https://t.co/85B1djlAGM

And Goff seems to want to take him up on it:
Jared Goff said he plans on taking Yasiel Puig up on his offer to show him around Los Angeles.

This is the kind of hug-based diplomacy the world needs. #PuigOURFriend.
