Part 4/7:
In a twist noteworthy of player adaptability, Matt Chapman has indicated his readiness to take on the shortstop role if the Giants decide to pursue Ha-Seong Kim. While Chapman has limited experience at shortstop, his proven defensive skills at third base lend confidence in his capability to adapt on a temporary basis.
This offer reflects not just Chapman’s character but also highlights a cultural shift within the Giants, driven by former player-turned-executive Buster Posey, who is garnering respect from the roster just months into his new role.
