The Tampa Bay Rays sent 3B Evan Longoria and a pile of money to the San Francisco Giants for OF Denard Span, 2B/3B Christian Arroyo, LHP Matt Krook, and RHP Stephen Woods.
Evan Longoria is coming off the worst season of his career at the plate putting up a 96 wRC+ and only putting up 2.5 fWAR despite defense that won him the Gold Glove. The Rays are paying $14.5MM of the $88MM guaranteed and will pick up all $9.5MM deferred money that is payable in 2025-2029. They will pick up the $2MM trade assignment bonus due by the end of the year and an additional $3MM owed in 2022.
