A look at Matt Chapman’s 2023 season.
Matt Chapman was a trade pickup before the 2022 season. The Blue Jays sent Gunnar Hoglund, Kevin Smith, Zach Logue and Kirby Snead to Oakland for him. Let’s have a quick look at those four: In Chapman’s first season with the Jays, he showed us that he had a great glove, and great arm, at third base. His bat wasn’t what we hoped for, but it is hard to complain about a 4.2 fWAR season. We hoped that he could hit better this year. It didn’t happen: Baseball Reference has him at a 4.4 WAR.
He made just 12 errors at third, 6 fielding, 6 throwing. His Fielding Average was .968 . He’ll be 31 next year. I’m sure he’ll be looking for a long-term contract, 5ish years? And he’ll be looking for about $25 million a year, I would think. So there is the question, if it were up to you, would you give Chapman a 5-year, $125 million contract? Personally, I would like to see the team make a spot for Orelvis Martinez and/or Addison Barger.
