  1. This is great news! His offense will drop off in the last 3 years of this contract but it’s worth it in order to keep his spectacular defense. Solid deal imo.

  2. If you don’t like this, you don’t know ball. He’s a WAR farmer.

    For god sakes build around him though.

  3. I was having an ok day but this made it way better. Time to change my flair to Matt Chapman like I said

  4. Ok now let’s do more than just “hope the rest of the roster plays better” next year

  5. I feel like 6/$151M is very close (or even beyond) the ceiling of what Chapman could have possibly gotten on the open market. But I don’t really care, as the Giants have a ton of payroll flexibility and I want Chapman to stick around.

    Worst case, his bat and defense erode in a few years and this contract is pretty ugly for a couple seasons. But the Giants have the financial might to eat that cost, and they’ll get to hang onto a fun player who plays some of the best defense I’ve ever seen at the hot corner.

    It’s nice to have another player who fans can buy a jersey of and not worry that he’ll be on another team in a year or two.

  6. You gotta be a sick bastard to want to play for the giants for another 6 years, I’m happy he’s decided to be our sick bastard.

  7. So is this how Farhan keeps his job?

    Currently not even thinking about that. I’m happy Chappy is staying.

  8. Watching Chapman play everyday it’s so clear that he is one of those special players with “intangibles” that goes beyond the box score. He plays 110% and plays smart. His head is always in the game. Good attitude, good emotional control. Who wouldn’t want him as a teammate?

  9. Happy to see this because he really does seem to embrace what it is to be a Giant! Good for him to get paid and I hope he goes strong all 6 years!

  10. This makes it 7/169 total, people called me crazy when I was saying we should give him 6/150 last year…great signing by the FO. Chappy is here to stay and I love it.
