Best San Francisco Giants of the 2010s: 48. Evan Longoria

The San Francisco Giants acquired Evan Longoria from the Tampa Bay Rays prior to the 2018 season in exchange for Denard Span, Christian Arroyo, Matt Krook and Stephen Woods.

The No. 3 overall pick in the 2006 draft spent the first 10 years of his career with the Rays, winning AL Rookie of the Year in 2008 and making three All-Star appearances while racking up 49.8 WAR to establish himself as arguably the greatest player in franchise history.

However, it was a decidedly different Longoria who joined the Giants last year for his age-32 season.
