Pretty happy about this, pending the return. Longoria's been one of my favorite players for a while and he's still putting up decent offensive numbers.

That came out of nowhere

Arroyo was my favorite prospect but our farm system is complete shit so instead of wasting Madbum's prime and whats left of Posey's, may as well keep on trying to win again. Also have a lot of money invested between Cueto & Samardzija.

2018 is an even year......

Okay now let’s see the Cards ante up for Donaldson.

I don't think the Giants are approaching this the right way at all. They are 4th best in their division even with this move.

lol, aging team with terrible farm system add another aging and decling player, that looks good.

I didn't realize until today that Evan Longoria is 32 and younger then me (I turn 33 in a few months)

I feel old and depressed all of a sudden

It seems like yesterday he was coming into league with hype as a franchise talent (Which he was)

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

The Giants got him for pretty much nothing (don't @ me about how Arroyo is something) but they get even older so the decline for the team is going to be quick and brutal and may have already started last year.

Dick Vitale is a twat.

 

[Terry Yake]

seems like a good trade for both sides

Why didn't the Giants sign E. Nunez instead of giving up prospects for Longoria? There's no denying that he was great for the Rays, but he seems to be on the decline.

Longoria is 32 and is still owed 4 years and almost $75 mil? Ouch.

 

[le_sean]

Not a bad move for the Giants but with Span gone, who plays the OF? It’s just a hot mess right now.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Wow, baseball in Florida is going to be a hot ticket next season.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

At least Evan will have a beautiful view of his power numbers going to shit.

Nunez isn't a regular starting position player even though he can hit - defensively he is very shaky. Great guy off the bench.

 

[le_sean]

Interesting. So they will have a great infield defence but an atrocious outfield defence.

Sounds like the perfect time for TB to dump him.

Arroyo is something.

I am extremely here for Giants not going for a rebuild and getting older.
