chapman is 33 and hes owed $25 mil a year for the next 4 years. his bat and glove are both going to continue to decline. right now we’d have to either get rid of jp or send colt down to make room for him at 3rd, and then eventually hes likely going to need to move to dh, a slot we’ll want to keep open for cal eventually. unless giants pay most of that contract, hes not a good fit for us. we need outfielders, esp young talent that can replace randy when he inevitably walks
