Evan_Longoria
Tampa Bay extends 3B and their top prospect Evan Longoria for 6 years and it could be as many as 9. Interestingly they purposefully kept him off thier roster for the first 13 days of the season so that he couldn't become a free agent until 2014. 6 years and 17 million dollars is the guarantees for this deal. I wonder if we'll see a lot more of this as low revenue teams try to assemble cores to keep together so they can have 3-4 shots at being a playoff team when their players mature.
