With their season over, it\u2019s worth taking a look at Evan Longoria.<\/p>\n

The former Giants<\/a> star retired from baseball during the middle of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

MLB wrote<\/a> (on May 12, 2025) via Instagram: \u201cEvan Longoria has retired after 16 seasons, three All-Star selections, three Gold Gloves, a Silver Slugger Award, and 2008 AL Rookie of the Year honors. The team will sign Longoria to a ceremonial one-day contract on June 7, allowing the former third baseman to retire with the Tampa Bay Rays.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that Longoria made a lot of money over his career.<\/p>\n

He called it quits with over $145 million in career earnings (h\/t Spotrac<\/a>).<\/p>\n
