He might crap the bed w/that contract only bc it’s Scott Boras and he asks too much.

Glad he’s back now I can be a fan of baseball again since I won’t support A’s anymore .

[@deanhirasawa1414]

From a Jays, Sharks and Giants fan now back in Toronto, I wish Chapman nothing but great luck. He had a frustratingly tough season offensively last season, and hope he can turn things around with the Giants. Not a shock that he wanted to return to the Bay Area. Now lets see how Keiner-Faleffa can do at third with the Jays. I was shocked to learn he won a gold glove with Texas in 2020, especially after an atrocious attempt by the Yankees to make him a SS.

[@DMalltheway]

He’s had a tough offensive season every year since 2019

[@duanebroussardtopdogg1292]

Next Snell then this season looks really promising.

[@zcorpalpha2462]

Giants now have some security

[@byronhorde5892]

This is good. However, I still want to see another Starting Pitcher come in. The rotation is and has been my main concern through this off-season.

[@timschmidt3784]

Chappy will do well playing for Bomel.

[@mikepuncsak7297]

Chappy s back in town ...just like you called it Brodi

[@wolfstriker3992]

Man you called that a mile away

[@tonym5960]

Yes he did

[@gsisemore]

He totally called it and the Bob Melvin connection really made all the sense.

[@Mrstantheman21]

Thank you Brodie for acknowledging the intangibles that Chapman brings. I am a Giants fan in Toronto area and have watched Chappy frequently the last few years. He is the best inflieler in baseball - fulll stop - and will automatically make Luciano a better shortstop. He is an infield anchor. HIs bat will always be streaky and even on a poor hitting team if he he hits it will be a bonus. Giants needed a pro on defence and they got one of the best. They are a better team today than yesterday.

[@gsisemore]

I really like the Giants lineup after this move. I’m excited for the year and would absolutely love to see this squad win the season series against the Dodgers. They’ve been yapping too much in SoCal this spring.

[@sweetmapleleafs]

As a GIants fan born and raised in LA who has witnessed years and years of Dodgers fan's pain inflicted by that organization, LA isnt going to win anything this year. I dont care if they go 162-0. They will not win the World Series this year. Not because they havent won a WS in the same year they won over 100 games, no no. And definitely not because they never won a WS in seasons where they drew over 3mil at Dodger Stadium (35 such seasons, 0WS to show for btw), nope! It's because they decided on going to Korea with the Padres to get their season started sooner. In other words, they're the first ones in & ppl expect them to be the last ones standing in Oct. Fine n' dandy, except that no team has ever done that! Plus, the last time LA tried this was 2014. They started in Australia and their season ended in St. Louis in Oct. Cards had answers for Kershaw, but not for Ishikawa

[@DMalltheway]

Chapman brings a lot of strikeouts and lack of home run power to back it up not to mention a low average.

[@scotttild]

You are one of the few.. .500 at best.

[@el_puma_real]

It’s eerie how much Chapman mirrors Williams. This was a solid pick up, and looks as if the boring Giants are becoming ever more interesting.

[@TheChosennn]

U called it in November

[@chriscrane27]

You called it

[@nowiismywaifu6132]

What are the winning lottery numbers Brodie ?

[@brianmccarthy1029]

Of course he did, I had no doubt.

[@Kensf25]

Unfortunately for JD Davis, this likely makes him expendable, with Soler the DH, Conforto and Yaz on the OF corners and Lamont Wade Jr at 1B. They could now include Davis, Bart and a prospect or two for a Starting Pitcher!

[@jonahp.5094]

Giants have a surplus of starters especially if we sign snell, should probably trade for a decent bat in the outfield to compliment Lee and Soler or get a solid first basemen over Lamonte

[@michaelbarr77]

No no no! The giants have no depth in starting pitching. They need to trade for a starting pitcher(s) regardless if the sign Snell/ Montgomery.

[@jonahp.5094]

@@michaelbarr77 so your dumb, we have surplus of upcoming pitchers with Logan Webb, Jordan hicks, and Kyle Harrison, we also have black, Winn, whisenhun, and others. With Alex Cobb and Robbie ray on their way at the all star break, we would have so many starters we would have to have a six man rotation if we signed snell or monty so why have a surplus in something we thrive in, I think a first baseman or second baseman would be the smartest move

[@Jesusisacooldude]

God bless everyone ❤

[@imthebeatplug_8319]

Phenomenal analysis Brodie, called this months prior. Used up all your luck for this year 😂

[@martinarden9705]

The doubles were due to a "hitting philosophy" in Toronto where quite a few players were encouraged to go the other way, probably more than they should have. If anything, Chapman should be encouraged to pull the ball more than he has been, particularly with the SF park dimensions. If he can do that and catch up to fastballs the way he couldn't here, he's going to get PAID next year. He'll opt out and San Fran can't attach a QO to him. He'll be the Giants' version of Marcus Semien in Toronto: one year, prove it, get signed to a long-term deal in the following offseason. I hope he does it.

[@joea3655]

I wonder how many A's fans will be rooting for the Giants now.

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

This is a good move for Chappy and the Giants. He gets to be reunited with Bo Mel.

[@bobbleheadbob]

I don’t like these contracts as a fan. If the guy plays well he leaves the next season for more $ and if he plays poorly we likely had a bad season and are stuck with him another year. Its like dating someone you know is going to leave you as soon as they get back in shape.

[@tigertank06]

He’ll probably crap the bed since he’s asking for sooo much as free agents are wont to do.

[@ki2726]

They are still the third or fourth best team in their own division

[@buicklincoln]

Bob Melvin's his former manager and the team had a big hole to fill at third. No surprise.

[@kohort1]

Seems like a fix to help hand A's fans to the Giants.

[@thesolomind]

[@paulabley4596]

Attababe Brodie!!

[@Kertbob-yu6dw]

Opts out are not good.

[@DMalltheway]

Only if Chapman has an excellent offensive season, but likely he won’t.

[@Riley.a_Music]

I think that snell needs to come here within the next two days

[@brodiebrazil]

stay tuned...

[@Riley.a_Music]

@@brodiebrazil tell me you know

[@m.kennedy342]

I would rather see the Giants work out a trade for Dylan Cease. Think he would be a great fit for the Giants. I would prefer him over Blake Snell. Shouldn’t cost as much as Snell either. The Giants definitely need more starting pitching ASAP.

[@oscarmurillo4067]

I am impressed with these off season acquisitions. But I am not going to buy into the hype until they prove they can compete.

[@lcflngn]

Lol, c’mon! A little preseason excitement can’t hurt 😉

[@oscarmurillo4067]

@lcflngn Actually it does. As a Sharks fan, along with following the 49ers and Earthquakes, That kind of hype has led to too much pain. After 2018 once the Sharks got EK65, I stopped buying into the hype because I am tired of getting hurt. Even when San Jose was going on a tear in that season, I didn't care about what was accomplished in the regular season. I wanted to know if we are the same old Sharks or if we have changed. Same thing with the 49ers since the start of this decade and the Giants in 2021. All I want to know is if we are going to be a contender or a sheep in wolves clothing. Period.

[@fandyllic1975]

He’s only a Giant for 1 year… the other years are a crap shoot. The best things about this deal is he’s a Giant and Scott Boras didn’t get his crazy asking prices. Chapman is making quite a bit less than his qualifying offer.

[@ChrisMDavis-zf7ft]

I really like Chapman as a clubhouse guy. Curious what they will do with Davis or Schmitt now. Will Schmitt move to short? I like Snell but don’t want a big Snell contract taking Giants out on free agency next yr.

[@wesjoke]

I'll always like Chappy, but seeing him in black and orange will never look right to me.

[@markeschen]

Next domino will be moving Davis and/or Flores. There isn't room on the roster for all three.

[@danielharrington1891]

Flores is workmanlike and someone who we always can believe in. I hope he retires as a Giant with at least 100 more dingers!

[@josemercado4048]

I won’t be a giants fan. Manfred can’t forced Ohio st football fans to become Michigan wolverines football fans

[@paulito5745]

Not really a big need. JD Davis is comparable player so I would have taken that money and overpay for Montgomery or Snell on a higher short term salary. Now we need to trade Davis or Flores for pitching prospect.

[@jeramy576]

Is Boras losing his power? Another one of his players getting much less than what he was banking on

[@haroldfinch8481]

Not Aroldis?

[@sirgarytube]

The Giants built lowkey sleeper that has a lot of potential

[@michaelbaucom4019]

Giants up to a C+ grade for off-season, will be a B if another move is made( Snell or Montgomery?) Bad news is this stifles Casey Schmidt developing/demotes him to a utility role. JD Davis(doubt Wilmer Flores is going) getting moved? The Giants have one too many 3b/1b/DH types who are RH hitters Props to Brodie for calling this before just about everybody

[@TimFrith24]

Will the Mets sign free agent southpaw starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery to bolster their rotation?

[@lcflngn]

Thrilled. Melvin & Williams clearly wanted him, enough for me tbh without the rest (I know). Maybe his bat will wake up at Oracle, sounds v promising. Just when our JD hit like crazy this week. Good on him. Hope he finds a perfect landing. Totally ❤️ that guy.

[@DMalltheway]

Oracle isn’t too friendly with righties, he couldn’t hit at a super friendly park in Toronto.

[@katemoo9581]

I think you can predict the future

[@markd8469]

If he can play like he did in April 2023 this could be a great signing. But “boy of boy”did he ever fall off the turnip truck after that. He couldn’t swat a fly afterwards. He was a great guy and terrific defender. Part of me is sad to see him leave Toronto. Jays just have way too many underperformers

[@CaesarDelgado]

I guess I’m a Giants and Braves fan now lol

[@drawbias]

Does this really do much to the NL West? Watched him in Toronto and he was brilliant for one month and disappointing for the rest of the year. His defense will really help but 86 wins will get you a chance to build a team for 2025 but nothing else.

[@ericdodson3630]

Bad three year contract with an opt-out after 1st and 2nd season. Meaning its possible Chapman leaves after next year. 😢

Scott Boras is eating so much crow. His clients have to see that teams are tired of his tactics of getting teams to bid against themselves.

[@alexsikorski6622]

You are on the money with that quote. Some of his players are still not in camp!! Boras is a D.....period. He creates so much stress to the people he represents....his other players should dump him!

With the declining salary and opt outs each year, this looks like a pillow contract.

[@badguy89o32]

Is a blue jays fan and watching that Chapman for the last couple years he's not the same guy you remember his bat is nowhere near as good he started off really hot last season and just fell off hard hopefully he has a bounce back season but coming from a Toronto Blue Jays fan I'm actually kind of happy we didn't give him that kind of money I don't think he's worth it paying 20 million for a below average hitter and a glove you can get that for cheaper

Can we please stop calling these opt out each year contracts multi year contracts? They're not, they're one year contracts with the player having the ability to choose what they do based on their performance. They do good, they opt out and try to get more, they do bad, they opt in because they know no one else will sign them off the bad.

[@brodiebrazil]

the team can't equally opt out... so it has to be defined like that. contract with player options.

He'll opt-in because he signed with the Giants and nobody else would offer more

[@adamhustler3639]

@@harukuhitoki2991 This is Boras we're talking about. If he thinks there's the slightest chance to get another 20 mil for 2025 instead of the 18, they'll go for it. That's probably why the contract is front ended, if he doesn't live up to the 20 mil and has to opt in for doing crappy, he'll get less than the 20.

[@lcflngn]

Honestly sounds fair to me. Tired of folks complaining about player contracts when owners get bazillions then often pocket it. Players have such limited time, work so hard for so few guaranteed contracts. Let them get what they can now, it’s only right. I say let’s hope for fewer strikes & lockouts thank you.

[@livinb450]

The Giants are basically stuck with signing washed-up, past their prime veterans. Big stars dont want to play in S.F.

[@scotttild]

More stupidly. Overpaying an average player that maybe gives you 10 more wins a season. So what. You go from .500 to .550 with this move. Either be great and go for it or be the A's be horrible. This .500 area is just nowhere vile and they will be lucky to get that. Either be really good with a chance to win it all, or be really bad and build with good high draft picks. Giants are neither, not good enough to get to the playoffs, not bad enough to get a decent top 5 pick. Maybe they use him to trade latter on.
