The Gnat Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Well, that's a huge trade. I wonder what Longoria fetched for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Damn. I wanted the Cards to trade prospects for him. He's not a difference maker anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 3 minutes ago, The Gnat said: Here is the deal. I don't hate this deal. I've made my thoughts on Arroyo clear in the past in that I'd rather keep Panik, and I didn't like Arroyo's stick at third. Span was a requirement to dump in the deal, Krook and Woods are meh.

indifference Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 6 minutes ago, The Gnat said: Here is the deal. This trade stinks for the Rays. Offense has been problematic for this team for YEARS and we gained two average hitters and mid level pitching prospects. Just awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 This is important in why they traded Longoria for what they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longoria is trending in the wrong direction fairly rapidly and will be getting sizeable salaries in a few years. Apparently the Rays were willing to take the PR hit so they could get out from under that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have taken Hunter Pence back and released him to get somebody good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longoria's value isn't exactly much right now, even with some more money essentially being eaten by the Rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
