At 31 years old, it is not improbable that Evan Longoria has a few more solid years left in the tank. The Tampa Bay Rays are certainly hoping so, as his most recent contract extension will last through 2022, excluding the team option for the following year. Obviously, the Rays are banking on Longoria to continue his strong play.
While he is obviously the best player in the history of the Rays, it may be time to look at his place in the history of the game. Overall, Longoria has produced a solid .270/.343/.486 batting line, hitting 250 homers and driving in 840 runs in his decade in the majors.
