The San Francisco Giants took all offseason — and a few weeks of the preseason — to agree to a contract with four-time Gold Glove winner Matt Chapman. But the next steps moved much more quickly. There was barely any time for us to fret about physicals or get comments from coaches and executives neither confirming nor denying reports.
News of the Giants deal with Chapman broke late on Friday night. The Giants announced the news early Sunday morning. And his introductory press conference is scheduled for today.
The deal was originally reported as three years with opt-outs after the first two years.
