The Tampa Bay Rays have been involved in some really interesting trades over the years. Today we take a look at the deal that probably hurt the most at the time.
Evan Longoria burst on the scene in 2008, hitting 27 homers while driving in 85 runs in just 122 games his rookie season. He slashed .272/.343/.531 on his way to a Rookie of the Year Award and getting the nod at the All-Star game. That year, Longorio helped lead the Rays on a charge to the World Series. He would forever be a fan-favorite in Tampa Bay.
