Giants snag Rays’ Longoria

San Francisco acquired Evan Longoria and cash from Tampa Bay for outfielder Denard Span, infielder Christian Arroyo and two minor league pitchers.

Longoria, 32, spent his entire career, nearly 10 seasons, in a Rays uniform.

He is the club’s all-time leader with 1,435 games played, 261 home runs and 892 RBIs.

Of the 30 postseason games in Tampa Bay history, all 30 featured Longoria’s glove at third base.

Longoria batted .261 with 20 homers and 86 RBIs last season. He was the AL Rookie of the Year in 2008 and won three Gold Gloves.

“Evan gives us a Gold Glove-caliber player at third base and also provides us a middle of the order presence in the lineup,” Giants general manager Bobby Evans said.
