Longoria Signed Through 2022 by Rays

On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays signed Evan Longoria to an extended contract.

Longoria is now set to be with the team through 2022, and there's an option, in the contract, for 2023.

Over the next ten years he will be paid over one hundred and thirty-six million dollars.

The contract is the second longest in baseball, and the fourth in recent years to cover a decade.

More and more teams are looking to sign young players to extended contracts, in order to keep from losing them if they hit free agency.
