SAN FRANCISCO — When he was traded to the Giants last month, Evan Longoria said he didn’t really know many of the Giants players or coaches. He certainly knew which ones to reach out to, though.
During an appearance on Sirius XM’s MLB Network Radio on Monday, the new third baseman said he sent text messages to Madison Bumgarner and Buster Posey shortly after the deal that brought him to San Francisco in exchange for Denard Span, Christian Arroyo and two pitching prospects.
What was the message Longoria sent the two stars?
“Obviously I’m here to win and I’m here to follow your lead,” he said.
