Matt Chapman and the Oakland Athletics are looking forward to bigger and better things in the near future. The A’s are in the midst of a full-blown rebuild and Chapman, 24, will be partly responsible for the team’s level of success moving forward.
Chapman has struggled this year with consistency, but his slow start should not concern anyone too much. Chapman has experienced a power surge as of late and the A’s young infielder has collected five home runs over his last eight games.
Billy Beane has never invested in a full 100-percent rebuild partly because of a lack of patience.
