Per Jon Heyman, the San Francisco Giants are “gauging trade interest” on Evan Longoria. This time last year they had just traded for him and everyone thought the Giants would compete again, especially in the year of 2012.
The prospect of moving Longoria is interesting as it most certainly would open up the door for other free agent options this year and in the future. His contract is very large, and hinders the rebuilding process the Giants are seeming to undertake. But what is his trade value? Is it better than his value on the Giants roster?
