Third baseman Matt Chapman and the San Francisco Giants agreed to a six-year, $151 million contract on Wednesday night.

Chapman, 31, will earn $25million each season from 2025 to 2030 and additionally will receive a $1million signing bonus in 2025.

He joined the Giants as a free agent in March, agreeing to a contract guaranteeing $54million over three seasons. That deal gave him the right to opt out after 2024 and 2025. It included a $2million signing bonus and a $16 million salary for 2024.

Chapman is hitting .247 and leads the Giants with 22 homers, 69 RBIs, 90 runs and 33 doubles. He is a four-time Gold Glove winner and has a .241 career average with 177 homers and 495 RBIs for Oakland (2017-21), Toronto (2022-23) and the Giants.

An All-Star in 2019, Chapman hit a career-high 36 home runs for Oakland and finished sixth in the American League MVP voting. He was traded to Toronto in March 2022.
