Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman agreed on Wednesday to a $151 million, six-year contract with the San Francisco Giants for the 2025-30 seasons, forgoing his chance to become a free agent after this year.

Chapman will receive a $1 million signing bonus, paid on January 15, and will earn $25 million each year. This new contract ensures he will make $169 million over seven seasons from 2024 to 2030.

He joined the Giants as a free agent in March with a contract that guaranteed $54 million over three seasons.
