Thinking ahead if the race remains tight into late July and they still need another starter (which is the biggest need right now) how about dealing Longoria. Strikes out way too much for what he does. Older and not the same player he once was and they can move Hanson to third. Starters’ ERA atrocious. Some AL club may do the deal.

The Giants are on the hook for a net $61.5 million from 2019 through 2022 (incl. a 2023 buyout less what Tampa has agreed to pay).  No one will take on that kind of salary in return for a quality starter.  The Giants would have to ship a star minor league prospect to get someone to accept EL’s contract. 

Nope.  SF will have to live with the deal.
