Matt Chapman has signed a six-year, $151 million contract extension with the San Francisco Giants, committing to the team through the 2030 season. Initially expected to opt out of his contract after the 2024 season, Chapman opted for stability in San Francisco, where he has expressed contentment playing under familiar management. His current season performance includes a .247 batting average, 22 home runs, and strong defensive skills, contributing to his decision to remain with the Giants. This extension reflects a significant win for Chapman and his agent Scott Boras, marking a departure from the typical strategy of testing free agency. The deal provides Chapman with a projected total of $171 million over seven years when factoring in his current salary. This signing positions the Giants favorably in the upcoming free-agent market, as they aim to attract more talent around their core players.
