The San Francisco Giants difficult season has meant that they’ve turned their eyes to the offseason a little early this year. And not only that, but they’ve gotten a head start on it. Only about an hour after losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, the organization announced via social media that they had agreed to a six-year contract extension with star third baseman Matt Chapman.

The Giants signed Chapman — who began his career across the bay with the Oakland A’s — to a pillow contract last offseason.
