San Francisco Giants Trade for Evan Longoria

The three time All-Star, Longoria finished 2017 with a 3.6 WAR, 20 home runs, 86 runs batted in. He was also awarded the Gold Glove for his defensive play at the hot corner. However, he only had a .737 OPS.

The Giants will be hoping Longoria can return closer to his 2016 offensive numbers, that included 36 home runs, 98 RBI’s and an .840 OPS.

Longoria, 32, has $86-million and five years remaining on a deal he signed with the Rays, with a 2023 option that could push the total to $94-million.

Pitchers Matt Krook and Stephen Woods will also be heading to Tampa, along with Arroyo.
