Recently, the San Francisco Giants secured third baseman Matt Chapman with a lucrative six-year deal worth $151 million, marking a significant improvement from his previous contract. Chapman's stellar performance has made him a key component for the Giants.

Other players, including Blake Snell and Jack Flaherty, have also boosted their free-agent stock with impressive seasons, while some like Gleyber Torres and Alex Verdugo have seen their market value decline.
