SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Chapman's bet on himself paid off. After agreeing to a deal with San Francisco during spring training that allowed him to opt out after one season, the Giants third baseman agreed Wednesday to a $151 million, six-year contract for 2025-30. Chapman joined the Giants with a contract guaranteeing $54 million over three seasons. That deal gave him the right to opt out after 2024 and 2025. It included a $2 million signing bonus and a $16 million salary for 2024.
