Via NESN.com  |  November 26, 2012
If Evan Longoria isn’t a Tampa Bay Ray for life, it certainly won’t be for a lack of trying. The third baseman agreed to a six-year, $100 million contract extension with the team on Monday, which means that he will be under team control until 2023. The 27-year-old had previously signed a six-year, $17.5 million deal with the team that included team options for the 2014-16 seasons...

Anytime a $100 million contract is signed in professional sports it catches the eyes of all fans.

The 4 Most Ludicrous Contracts in Sports

Via Unathletic  |  November 27, 2012
If you haven’t heard the news yet, Tampa Bay Rays stud third basemen Evan Longoria got hooked-up with a fat new $100 million extension that will keep the All-Star in a Rays uniform through 2023.

Rays Extend Evan Longoria, Again

Via Fangraphs  |  November 26, 2012
Until he was dethroned by Mike Trout this summer, Evan Longoria had been a fixture atop my annual Trade Value series. It was partially due to the fact that he was both young and an excellent player, but, primarily, he ruled the list because his contract was so absurdly slanted in the Rays favor. Despite already racking up +29 WAR in his first four years in the Majors, Longoria...

Ok, I’ll be honest, I had a realyl good idea for a post as soon as I heard about Evan Longoria’s new $100 million contract extension. However, I had to go to class and therefore had to wait to actually sit down and write the thing. In that time, ESPN’s Dave Schoenfield, who gets paid to write about baseball full time, wrote a article that hit most of the points I wanted to...

Guest post by Dan Benton via FeedCrossing… With Hiroki Kuroda returning for the 2013 season, the New York Yankees will hope to get a key component for their starting rotation as they await the decision of Andy Pettitte.   The importance of Pettitte’s decision might be even greater now that Kuroda is back, and it would be easy to believe that the Yankees would want some...

How much money do the Dodgers really have to spend?

Via The Outside Corner  |  November 26, 2012
Stop me if you've heard this one before, "The Dodgers are considered the front runners to sign Zack Greinke."  Or was it Hiroki Kuroda?  Or Anibal Sanchez?  Or Kyuji Fujikawa?  Or Kevin Youkilis?  Or how about just every free agent ever? It seems that no matter what position a player plays or how much money he wants, the Dodgers want him.  Their greed and...

Things are really starting to boil over on the hot stove after coming back from a nice Thanksgiving break. Over the past two days, we've seen the Rays hand out the first $100 million contract in their history to the very worthy Evan Longoria, Jeff Keppinger break his leg and potentially give the Rays a huge break (no pun intended) in bringing the utilityman back, the potential...
