SAN FRANCISCO—With this season having slipped away from the San Francisco Giants, the latest piece of evidence being Wednesday night’s 6–4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the struggling club gained a significant victory of another kind.

The Giants announced after the game that veteran third baseman Matt Chapman had agreed to a six-year, $151 million contract for 2025–30, giving up his chance to become a free agent after this season. He will get a $1 million signing bonus, payable next year, and annual salaries of $25 million.
