San Francisco Giants: Matt Chapman
San Francisco Giants: Matt Chapman
November 7, 2024
Matt Chapman recently signed a six-year, $151 million extension with the Giants, setting a baseline for contract negotiations in the third base market. This figure mirrors the maximums the Astros have previously offered under owner Jim Crane, raising questions about how much they might exceed this amount to retain Bregman, a franchise cornerstone. Chapman's deal may influence the financial landscape for other teams pursuing third basemen, as clubs consider their payroll flexibility in relation to Soto's free agency.

MLB free agency: Will teams wait on Juan Soto to set the market?

The MLB offseason is heating up with Juan Soto, a highly sought-after outfielder, expected to command a record-breaking contract similar to Shohei Ohtani's last year. Soto's agent, Scott Boras, indicated that the player will take his time in evaluating offers from at least six interested teams.

As teams like the Houston Astros prioritize retaining Alex Bregman, the dynamics of this offseason may not hinge solely on Soto's decision. Executives suggest that the free-agent market is unique each year, and while Soto's choice will influence other signings, it won't dictate the overall pace of the offseason.
