Worth $4 million. <\/p>\n<p>At 37, Longoria is nowhere near as good as he is, but he&#8217;s still a useful right-hander and could bring a lot of experience to a young Diamondbacks team. 500 in each of the last three seasons, including his deplorable 52-110 mark in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>After being a three-time All-Star with the Tampa Bay Rays early in his career, Longoria took a step back in five seasons with the San Francisco Giants. Longoria appeared in just 89 games last season, batting . 244 with 14 homers and 42 RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>If Longoria can stay healthy, there could be something left in the tank that could help the Diamondbacks. I recorded a round tripper.<\/p>\n<p>There may be some pop left in Longoria&#8217;s bat as Arizona moves up the gauntlet that is the National League West.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>\n\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\t\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\t\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\tfbq('init', '657944992269625');\n\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t<\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js?ver=27.0.20221230203638\" id='facebook-sdk-js'><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiXGh0dHBzOi8vbmVzbi5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi9tbGItcnVtb3JzLXZldGVyYW4taW5maWVsZGVyLXN0YXlzLWNsb3NlLXRvLWhvbWUtd2l0aC1kaWFtb25kYmFja3Mv0gFgaHR0cHM6Ly9uZXNuLmNvbS8yMDIyLzEyL21sYi1ydW1vcnMtdmV0ZXJhbi1pbmZpZWxkZXItc3RheXMtY2xvc2UtdG8taG9tZS13aXRoLWRpYW1vbmRiYWNrcy9hbXAv?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Longtime third baseman Evan Longoria reportedly wanted to play for the contenders when he was in his 16th season in Major League Baseball.
