According to Evan Longoria via Susan Slusser, the San Francisco Giants have declined their $13 million option on the third baseman for 2023. He’ll get a $5 million buyout instead... and possibly the final tag of #GoodGiant?
While Longoria says he’s still engaged in conversations with the team about a return and the Giants have variably signaled throughout the year their potential interest, whatever renegotiated rate would have to be pretty close to $13 million anyway, and if memory serves, the Tampa Bay Rays would’ve been kicking $2 million of that $13 million anyway.
