The San Francisco Giants announced Thursday that they have signed third baseman Matt Chapman to a six-year, $151 million contract extension, beginning in 2025 and running through the 2030 season. Chapman, 31, will earn $25 million annually through 2030. He also will earn a $1 million signing bonus in 2025 and make annual donations of $125,000 to the Giants Community Fund.
Chapman was the No. 25 overall pick by the Oakland Athletics in 2014, making his MLB debut in 2017 and selected as an All-Star in 2019. The A’s traded the veteran infielder to the Toronto Blue Jays in 2022; and the Giants later signed him to a three-year, $54 million contract earlier this year.
Chapman owns a career .241 average with 177 home runs and 24 stolen bases through his first 1,004 appearances. He hit .247 with 22 home runs, 33 doubles, 69 RBIs and a career-high 13 stolen bases through 136 games this season.
