Good work Giants and Matt!

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants locked up star third baseman Matt Chapman on Wednesday night, announcing a six-year, $151 million contract extension that will keep the four-time Gold Glove winner in San Francisco through the 2030 season.

Chapman will earn $25 million in each of the next six seasons and receive a $1 million signing bonus in 2025. The new deal marks the biggest contract the Giants have handed out since Farhan Zaidi took over as president of baseball operations in November 2018, edging the six-year, $113 million pact former KBO star Jung Hoo Lee signed in December. It’s also the second-richest deal in franchise history, trailing only the nine-year, $167 million contract extension Buster Posey received in 2013.
