The Giants place J.D. Davis on waivers following the Matt Chapman signing. Davis, the former starting third baseman, is owed $6.9 million this season. With Chapman taking over the position, Davis may be claimed by another organization, providing salary relief for the Giants.

Chapman's arrival adds depth to the Giants roster, with options like Casey Schmitt, Wilmer Flores, Tyler Fitzgerald, and David Villar. Davis, who had a solid season last year, finds himself in a tough spot but remains open to what is best for the team.
