Evan Longoria's contract tops list of most team-friendly deals in MLB
Evan Longoria should rejoin the Tampa Bay Rays this week, maybe as early as Tuesday, and immediately regain his status as the most valuable player in baseball. This is not the same as the best player nor the Most Valuable Player who wear the cheap mlb jerseys , capital MVP, both of which connote performance alone. Value, in a real sense, is performance-plus-contract, and Longoria still has a stranglehold on the title of game's best contract.
Exempt, for the purpose of this discussion, are players with thecheap baseball jerseys
whose contracts baseball's collective-bargaining agreement automatically depresses ¨C notably players with zero to three years' service time and further those who have yet to reach free agency. That means Mike Trout (paid about the league minimum), Stephen Strasburg (making million from his original deal) and Clayton Kershaw (in the middle of a two-year, million contract that bought out his first two arbitration years) don't qualify.
Evan Longoria has been a spectator since April 30,and all his fans like the cheap nhl jerseys
. (Getty Images)Of the free-agent deals and contract extensions agreed upon by player and team, Longoria's is approaching Henry III in length of reign. There are other great ones, which we'll cover in the coming degrees (via Baseball Prospectus' indispensible contract database), but executives considered Longoria's the best shortly after he signed it a week into his first season and followed it up by winning Rookie of the Year. While Longoria has just one more guaranteed year remaining on the original six-year,million deal, the Rays hold three more options that will bring the total to four years and million.
The contract was something of a risk for the Rays. The reward, it turns out, was manifold. Chew on this fact: For the first five years of his major-league career.Evan Longoria has been paid million. That's for 117 home runs, 420 RBIs, 356 runs, 279 extra-base hits, a .516 slugging percentage, two Gold Gloves and altogether superb defense, an .879 OPS (which, adjusted for park, is 37 percent better than league average) and the sort of clubhouse presence teammates, coaches and management alike appreciates.
