Manager Gabe Kapler, whose playing career overlapped with Longoria’s for two seasons in Tampa Bay, appreciated his presence during the final series and said that he “lean on his perspective all the time.” After the season, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said, “there’s certainly a role for Longo on our team in 2023 with the way we manage our roster.”
