"Willy Adames became the first player in a Giants uniform to slug 30 home runs since Barry Bonds, and Rafael Devers anchored the lineup with a combined 35 homers between San Francisco and Boston, but neither player was the club's lone finalist for a Silver Slugger award. The honor belonged to Matt Chapman, who was passed over when Gold Glove finalists were announced earlier this month but is being recognized for his bat."
"Chapman, 32, is a finalist for a second consecutive season after batting .231 with 21 homers and a .770 OPS (120 OPS+). He is a five-time Gold Glove winner and a two-time Platinum Glove honoree but has never earned the top offensive award for his position. The last Giants player to win a Silver Slugger was Buster Posey in 2021."
