Could the San Francisco Giants parlay Evan Longoria’s rebound campaign into an offseason trade?
The Giants acquired the long-time Tampa Bay Rays third baseman in December 2017 in exchange for Denard Span, Matt Krook, Stephen Woods, and Christian Arroyo.
This trade was criticized for a number of reasons, including the fact that Longoria was on the wrong side of 30 and that the Giants were assuming a great deal of risk by taking on his lucrative contract. In order to swing the deal, the Rays pitched in some cash.
