Evan Longoria is right about free agency

Last year, he made $13.5 million, and in 2019 he’ll earn $14.5 million. That’s a ludicrous, crazy amount of money for a regular person. The chances that I ever make as much in my entire life as he made last year are microscopic, and mostly involve either rampant inflation, phenomenal luck, or a series of elaborate heists which, combined with lethal hubris, culminate in my downfall. Financially speaking, he lives in a world that I will never understand or touch.

Longoria had a bad year last year. According to Baseball Reference, he was worth 1.9 WAR and according to Fangraphs he was worth 0.
