A longtime San Francisco Giants beat reporter called out the Athletic for its “bananas” story about Matt Chapman being willing to switch positions to shortstop.
On Thursday night, Ken Rosenthal posted the eyebrow-raising story about Chapman and his willingness to help the Giants sign free agent shortstop Ha-Seong Kim, who had surgery to fix a torn labrum in his right shoulder in October and is expected to miss time at the start of the 2025 season.
“The Giants third baseman has told club officials he would be willing to move to short until Kim returned, one of numerous scenarios club officials are considering as they seek creative ways to reshape their roster, according to sources briefed on their discussions,” Rosenthal wrote.
