EVAN LONGORIA IS NO LONGER A RAY

It's about time.  I mean this is a guy that has played for this team for a while now, and they just can't seem to do much these days, and so, Evan Longoria, who has really been the muscle behind that team has just been traded to the Giants.

Sports Illustrated writes:

"Through these topsy-turvy times, we’ve always been able to count on a few things. Death is inescapable; puppies are adorable; and Evan Longoria will rake in Tampa Bay despite never posting an OPS above .900. Well, death and dogs continue, but Longoria’s time in Florida has surprisingly come to an end.

On Wednesday, the Rays dealt the veteran third baseman to the Giants for a four-player package headlined by centerfielder Denard Span and infield prospect Christian Arroyo. "

Bottom line, Jon Taylor of SI writes a great piece here which is why I chose his info for our BYB post. This is good for the Yankees who don't have to deal with Longoria, the Yankee killer any longer. He'll be out in San Fran, in the NL now.

Just wanted to keep you all in the loop. It's an interesting development. 

Gotta love baseball's offseason.
