    ST. PETERSBURG — Evan Longoria on Saturday returned to Tropicana Field for a Rays game for the first time since he was traded to the Giants almost seven years ago.

    The former Tampa Bay third baseman and franchise icon signed autographs before the game at the Team Store and threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the game against the Guardians.

    Manager Kevin Cash was ready to give him another assignment as well.

    “I don’t know what he’s going to do with the rest of his career,” Cash said, “but if he wants to hit third (Saturday), I’ll pencil him in.”
