One less potential landing spot for Moustakis.

Arroyo is from Tampa. He’s pretty stoked to play at home. Rays now have a huge surplus of Middle IF.

I wouldn't be so safe to say he's declining.  If you look at his stats, he's pretty consistent year to year in batting average and his homeruns are scattered, but no clear regression other than OBP.  Honestly, I think the change of scenery will help, though he was never top notch (IMO).

change of scenery to a park not conducive to hitting will definitely help.....him regress even faster

I think Pugzo is right.  I see him as more overrated rather than declining.

Longo isn't overrated. He's played for a garbage market that only garnered national attention in 2008. He'll naturally regress heading into his age-32 season but the guy averages 160 hits and 80+ RBIs a season.  He's defensively sound and may stand to post better than 3.6 WAR for a couple seasons in San Francisco.  The Giants gave up a decent prospect in Arroyo but he does them little good with the roster they've got now.  
 
If the Giants can bring in Jay Bruce and swing a deal for Billy Hamilton.... they really get interesting.

Those are 3 of the best 3Bs in the game.  Longo is still better than average defensively.
