When Eugenio Suarez was acquired by the Arizona Diamondbacks from the Seattle Mariners early in the offseason, it gave them a permanent third baseman and a replacement for free agent Evan Longoria.
However, this does not prevent young Corbin Carroll from being very complimentary of his former Serpents teammate, Longoria. He even believes the veteran has an exceptional skill set to take on a managerial role in the MLB.
In fact, when a user of the site Reddit asked Carroll who he thought of current major league baseball players would make a good manager in the future, he was full of praise for Longoria.
I'm going with Evan Longoria. He was an incredible addition to our team last year, something we needed in this locker room, he is definitely someone who would transition well into a managerial role.
The two protagonists were part of the team that, against all odds, swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Division Series before beating the powerful Philadelphia Phillies in the Championship Series to qualify for the World Series, a first since 2001 .
During the Diamondbacks' run through the fall dance, Longoria started 16 of the team's 17 playoff games, leading them to their second career World Series appearance. The other came during his rookie season with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Longoria said that although he listened to the offers on the table and kept an open mind during the winter, only a few places make sense for him and he will only make a return to play in perfect conditions. .
Perhaps his role as manager could then come sooner rather than later.
