Matt Chapman Next Team Odds: Free Agency Rumors

One of the most elite third basemen in Major League Baseball this decade is still on the free agent market. Matt Chapman, most recently of the Toronto Blue Jays, has yet to be signed as Spring Training gets underway. His destination is worth watching at Ontario sports betting sites in 2024.

Chapman has been a tour de force at the hot corner with the Oakland Athletics, where he starred from 2017 to 2021, and the Blue Jays, where he was traded in 2022. Chapman has 155 home runs and 426 RBIs, to go with a career WAR (according to Baseball-Reference.com) of 31.2.

In 2023, the 30-year-old finished the final year of a two-year deal with Toronto, worth $12.5 million annually. He posted a 4.4 WAR with 17 home runs, 54 RBIs and an OPS+ of 108 last season for the Blue Jays. Toronto has +2000 World Series odds, ranking eighth on the board, with Caesars Ontario Sportsbook.

OntarioBets.com broke down where Chapman will play next, with our hypothetical odds on the next MLB club to land the superstar third baseman.

Blue Jays No Longer Frontrunner For Chapman?

In the months that followed the start of the MLB’s free agency window, the Blue Jays have seen their odds of keeping the veteran third baseman dwindle. The Mariners are now the frontrunner for Chapman’s services in 2024 and beyond.

Chapman and his 31.2 career WAR total would be a fit for almost any MLB club, with a career OPS+ of 117 and 155 home runs across 3,138 MLB at bats. So it’s a bit of a surprise that Toronto has so far failed to resign its star infielder.

Right now, we have Seattle atop the Chapman sweepstakes at +250, while Toronto is No. 2 at +350, ahead of the San Francisco Giants (+450), Chicago Cubs (+700), New York Mets (+2000) and Los Angeles Angels (+2500).

BetMGM Ontario Sportsbook gives the Jays +900 odds to win the American League, tied with the Mariners and Minnesota Twins and behind the New York Yankees and Houston Astros (both +400), defending champion Texas Rangers (+500) and Baltimore Orioles (+650).

In a glacial MLB free agency period, it’ll be interesting to see if any clubs spring to land the two-time Platinum Glove winner. After all, Chapman is coming off another stellar campaign north of the border, as he helped Toronto to another postseason berth in 2023.
