The newest addition to the San Francisco Giants, Matt Chapman, is surprised by how his free agency unfolded. He and his agent, Scott Boras, expected a quicker and more lucrative signing process. Despite receiving a three-year, $54 million deal, Chapman had turned down a $120 million offer from the Toronto Blue Jays before free agency. The contract includes opt-outs after the first two seasons, allowing Chapman to bet on himself and potentially earn more in the future. Similarly, pitchers Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery, represented by Boras, are now open to short-term deals after initially seeking long-term contracts worth over $250 million and $170 million respectively. The market for these players is still evolving, with new teams expressing interest and potential spring training injuries affecting negotiations. Boras remains optimistic that as the season approaches, more teams will show interest in these elite players. Despite the Giants’ significant offseason spending, they may still consider adding Snell to their rotation. Chapman, who expressed excitement about joining the Giants, will have the opportunity to test free agency once again in eight months.
