Which 2026 MLB Deadline candidate won four Gold Glove Awards at third base from 2018 to 2023? Matt Chapman did.
Chapman won Gold Gloves at third base in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2023. The awards recognized his defensive work with the Oakland Athletics and Toronto Blue Jays, and established him as one of the premier fielding third basemen of his era.
He did not win the award in 2020, a shortened season in which a hip injury ended his year early. He returned to win his third Gold Glove in 2021, then added another in 2023 with Toronto. Chapman later won a fifth Gold Glove for 2024 with the San Francisco Giants.
The wording can cause confusion because the awards were not won in four consecutive seasons. Nolan Arenado and Manny Machado are also prominent Gold Glove-winning third basemen, but the specific four-award sequence from 2018 through 2023 identifies Chapman.
