Evan Longoria is a very good player. Last season he excelled for a last place Rays team, batting .273/.318/.521 with 36 home runs and 98 RBI in 160 games. In 149 career contests against the Yankees, the 31-year-old has amassed 29 extra base hits, 32 dingers and 98 runs batted in.
But entering his tenth big league season, Longoria is just now beginning his $100M extension that runs through the 2023 season. History would tell us that the productivity of power hitting corner infielders begins to dip around their age 33-34 season.
So yes, for the next couple of years, Longoria would be a wise investment, at least monetarily at $13M, $13.
