PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed three-time All-Star third baseman Evan Longoria to a one-year deal.
The team announced the signing on Thursday. The 37-year-old Longoria is a 15-year veteran, spending his first 10 seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays and the past five with the San Francisco Giants.
Longoria -- a three-time Gold Glove winner -- brings some experience to what's expected to be a young lineup in 2023. He also adds right-handed power to a team that already has a lot of left-handed hitting. He has 331 career homers.
Longoria has battled injuries over the past few seasons but has been productive when healthy. He hit .244 with 14 homers and 42 RBIs in 89 games last season.
To make room for Longoria on the 40-man roster, the D-backs designated right-handed pitcher Edwin Uceta for assignment.
