3/05/25	Where Does San Francisco Giants Star Sit in Latest Third Basemen Rankings?. The San Francisco Giants know it is going to take some time for them to close the gap that exists between them and the Los Angeles Dodgers to become threats in the National League West. In a recent piece by Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report, he ranked all of the starting third basemen in baseball. Coming in at No. 2 was the Giants' own Matt Chapman, who earned the lofty ranking with elite production in every facet of his game. San Francisco got a steal during free agency leading into the 2024 season when Chapman, a Scott Boras client, was met with a colder than anticipated market.

3/02/25	San Francisco Giants Rising Star Has Higher Expectations This Season. With spring training moving right along for the San Francisco Giants, the team is hoping to see improvements from last year. The Giants have fallen into a bit of a rut in the National League West the past several years. San Francisco has lacked talent and star power in the lineup, but recent moves have strengthened the unit. With the addition of Matt Chapman last offseason and Willy Adames this winter, the Giants have a really talented left side of the infield now.

2/28/25	SF Giants' debut new-look infield as Adames faces old club for first time. Third baseman Matt Chapman and shortstop Willy Adames have only played a handful of Cactus League innings with one another, but Friday afternoon's exhibition against the Milwaukee Brewers provided a glimpse of their collective value. With no outs and the Brewers' Brewer Hicklen on second base in the top of the fourth inning, Milwaukee's Jimmy Herron hit a routine grounder right at Adames.

2/20/25	Why Chapman believes game-winning play vs. Mets is ‘underrated'. Giants third baseman Matt Chapman believes his game-winning defensive play in San Francisco's win over the New York Mets last season is "underrated." Source: https://sports.yahoo.com/article/why-chapman-belie...
2/19/25	Giants notes: How Schmitt, Wisely factor into roster battle. When Giants position players have taken the field, it's Matt Chapman at third and Willy Adames at short, and when the two cornerstones make throws to second, it's Casey Schmitt and Brett Wisely waiting. Neither is expected to start this year -- the second baseman, Tyler Fitzgerald, has been out with some minor back tightness -- but it seems clear that they're at the front of the pack as the Giants try to figure out their backup infielder situation. Marco Luciano now is an outfielder and Wade Meckler's offseason work at second base hasn't translated to reps; general manager Zack Minasian said this week that Meckler only will do outfield work this spring.

1/28/25	San Francisco Giants' 'Good Optics' Offseason Yields Curious Evaluation. The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up the offseason and getting prepared for what they hope will be a successful campaign in 2025. For the last few years, the Giants have struggled in the National League West. With their arch rivals seemingly building a dynasty and getting any player that they want in free agency, San Francisco has struggled in that area, resulting in their current unfavorable situation. After having an impact on getting Matt Chapman to sign an extension during the season, he has made two notable moves this winter. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/san-francisco-giants...
1/21/25	Boston Red Sox Reportedly Nearing Deal with San Francisco Giants Free Agent Target. While the San Francisco Giants have a veteran third baseman in Matt Chapman who signed an extension during the 2024 season, that did not stop them from showing interest in another veteran of the hot corner earlier this offseason. Before officially signing Willy Adames to a franchise-record deal, the Giants showed interest in former Houston Astros star Alex Bregman, who remains available in free agency.

1/19/25	San Francisco Giants Star Reveals Unique Relationship With Buster Posey. One of the players whom the San Francisco Giants are going to be relying on to help turn things around on the field is third baseman Matt Chapman. A long-term deal did not materialize, resulting in the Gold Glover signing a three-year, $54 million deal with the Giants that had options after the first two years. Chapman didn't even get the chance to make a choice on the options, as he played himself into that lucrative long-term deal he was seeking over the winter. In September, the final move of the Farhan Zaidi era was to sign him to a six-year, $151 million extension. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/san-francisco-giants...

Saturday marked the 31-year-old's first Giants Fan Fest since signing a six-year, $151 million contract extension with San Francisco on Sept. 6. Following his strong 2024 MLB season, Chapman told NBC Sports Bay Area's Taylor Wirth he enters 2025 with one mission in mind. Source: https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-francisco...
12/30/24	Young Slugger Projected as San Francisco Giants' Next Top Prospect. The San Francisco Giants have been searching for true star talent for the past few years. In just the past two seasons, the Giants have signed (and in some cases lost) well-established players like Matt Chapman, Blake Snell and Willy Adames. MLB prospect analyst Jim Callis recently looked to each team's pipeline to guess the player that will be the No. 1 prospect next year and for San Francisco, it is expected to be someone knew.

12/10/24	Giants notes: Lee on track for spring, Hicks will remain in rotation. When the offseason grades are handed out, the Giants would prefer that outsiders remember the heavy lifting they did before the 2024-25 free agent class ever started looking around the market. Matt Chapman was going to be one of the best players available, but the Giants locked him up to a long-term extension a few weeks before he could test free agency. In Bob Melvin's head, the Giants currently have three marquee additions set to lead the 2025 team. While speaking to reporters on Monday in Dallas, the manager noted that center fielder Jung Hoo Lee is essentially starting fresh after shoulder surgery wiped out most of his first MLB season.

Chapman is willing to save the day, per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-matt-chapman-...
12/04/24	The starting pitcher market is moving fast. Can the Orioles afford to be patient?. Much of the talk last offseason surrounded mega-agent Scott Boras and his top clients. The hype was high for Matt Chapman, Cody Bellinger, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery — the “Boras Four,” they were dubbed by national media figures — among the free agents on the market. The late starts seemed to hurt the pitchers, as Snell faltered to begin the season and Montgomery struggled throughout the campaign. Source: https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/12/04/mlb-starti...
12/02/24	San Francisco Giants Duo Listed Among Worst Contracts in Baseball. There have been reports circulating that the San Francisco Giants aren't in a position to spend money this offseason. It will be interesting to see how he navigates those money issues, as the roster has plenty of holes that need to be filled. The lineup is lacking everyday contributors beyond third baseman Matt Chapman, shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald and outfielder Heliot Ramos. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/san-francisco-giants...

11/15/24	San Francisco Giants Superstar Near Top of Positional Power Rankings. The San Francisco Giants found a major bargain when they signed veteran third baseman Matt Chapman to a three-year, $54 million contract ahead of the 2024 season. The deal had opt-outs after both 2024 and 2025, and with the third baseman being a Scott Boras client, it was highly unlikely he would make it through both of those options without testing the market. Now 31 years old, it could be the last contract of the veteran's Major League career. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/san-francisco-giants...

The former Padre headlines the players weighing their $21.05 million qualifying offers, but he's seeking the biggest payday of the offseason after helping the Yankees get to the World Series. The Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Red Sox and Blue Jays headline the teams expected to pursue the 26-year-old, four-time All-Star. Source: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/11/13/mlb-free-a...
11/07/24	San Francisco Giants Among Two Teams Showing Early Interest in Rival's Infielder. The San Francisco Giants have a number of needs to address across their roster heading into the offseason. The only player locked into a role for 2025 is third baseman Matt Chapman, who signed a lucrative extension in September. Tyler Fitzgerald will likely be in the starting lineup as well, but what position he will be playing is anyone's guess. According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Giants are one of the teams who are showing early interest in San Diego Padres free agent Ha-Seong Kim.
