@C2Cbsbl: “I really don’t think we will be seeing Matt Chapman again this season I’m not too mad about that tbh, hopefully he’s ok, but I’d much rather watch other guys take those at bats for the last 2 months”

Chapman has also had stints with the Toronto Blue Jays and Athletics over 10 seasons in the MLB.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan wrote (on September 5, 2024): “Third baseman Matt Chapman and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a six-year, $151 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. It wipes out the final two years of his current deal and keeps Chapman from opting out.”
