Evan Longoria will sign a one-day contract to officially retire as a member of the Tampa Bay Rays on June 7.
Fantasy Impact
Longoria played from 2008 to 2023, spending 16 seasons with the Rays, Giants and Diamondbacks. He wrapped up his career as a three-time All-Star, three-time Gold Glove winner and a Silver Slugger recipient. Longoria finished with 1,930 hits and 342 home runs.
Evan Longoria is still undecided on his future.
Fantasy Impact
Longoria turned 38 in October and now has 16 MLB seasons under his belt. The three-time All-Star is reportedly still "weighing his options" on returning for a 17th season after helping the Diamondbacks to a surprising N.L. Pennant last year. In 2023, Longoria showed he still had some pop in his bat, hitting 11 home runs with a .199 ISO across 237 plate appearances. He also remains quite capable at the hot corner. There is likely at least a handful of teams that would welcome his veteran leadership to their clubhouse.
