He signed the extension after the 2012 season when things were really looking up for them (they won 90 games and were stacked with young pitching). I bet he gets dealt at some point. He's had a great bounce back year and has fairly reasonable contract to move


I don't know why Longoria ever agreed to that contract in the first place. $100 million for 6 years is peanuts for a player of his caliber. If he had just played out his original contract, he would be have been a free agent after this season and looking at a Cano-like deal. Longoria must really love the Tampa Bay area because his career decisions have been puzzling to say the least.

Maybe he just enjoys being able to make that kind of money in a market like Tampa, where there are relatively low expectations

Hindsight is 20/20. He's clearly someone who values financial security and he's due to make 130m+ over the course of his career. He was coming off probably the worst year of his career at the time as well.
