<p>Matt Chapman has a new home. Well, sort of. He&#8217;s back on the West Coast.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Late on Friday night, word came out that Chapman and the San Franciso Giants had agreed on a three-year $54 million deal. Like the one that Cody Bellinger signed with the Chicago Cubs last week, Chapman&#8217;s contract will feature opt-outs after each season.</p>
<p>We talked about Chapman joining the Giants, why it&#8217;s surprising the Blue Jays didn&#8217;t get him signed, and who needs to step up in his absence. We also talked about some other notes from around Grapefruit League play, including Bowden Francis&#8217; strong start and Daniel Vogelbach&#8217;s home run off of Gerrit Cole.</p>
