The San Francisco Giants made a number of moves with their roster leading up to the 2024 season. Some of those moves, such as signing outfielder Jung Hoo Lee from the KBO and acquiring starting pitcher Robbie Ray from the Seattle Mariners in a trade have not panned out.

Matt Chapman hit San Francisco's first inside-the-park homer in seven-plus years and Michael Conforto and Casey Schmitt hit conventional homers to help the Giants record a 6-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night at Phoenix.

One of the main ones is the fact that the team managed to lock up star third baseman Matt Chapman on a six-year, $151 million contract extension earlier this month, and it sounds like one of their former players in Buster Posey played a big role in convincing him to stay in town.

Notoriously, it has been a struggle for the San Francisco Giants to recruit free agents to the team. That is a trend they began to buck in the offseason leading into the 2024 regular season. Reigning Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell and third baseman Matt Chapman were both hoping to land lucrative long-term deals.
