Giants Welcome Matt Chapman; Boras Eyes Deals for Snell, Montgomery

With Chapman's signing, the Giants bolster their defense, while agent Scott Boras navigates a tense pitching market.

The San Francisco Giants officially introduced Matt Chapman, a Platinum Glove third baseman, enhancing their defense significantly.
Scott Boras, Chapman's agent, is actively promoting his other clients, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery, amid a perceived pitching panic in MLB.
Chapman's contract includes opt-outs after the first two seasons, reflecting a trend towards short-term deals with flexibility.
The Giants' rotation remains uncertain, with potential gaps that Snell or Montgomery could fill, as the team has already exceeded $335 million in payroll commitments this offseason.
Chapman's signing is seen as a strategic move to bolster the Giants' competitiveness, with Boras suggesting that exceeding the luxury tax threshold could be good business if it draws more fans.
