Evan Longoria is owed $44 million by the San Francisco Giants over the next three years, on top of what’s left of his $12.5 million salary this year.
He also has a $13 million club option for 2023 that carries a $5 million buyout.
When he was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays prior to the 2018 season, the Giants were making a significant investment in what they hoped would be an All-Star caliber player.
Instead, he hit .244/.281/.413 for a career-low 90 OPS+ during his first season with the team.
Things went from bad to worse over the first two months of the 2019 campaign.
