They aren’t related, and the shortstop is half Ukrainian.

I got to see Evan all the years he was with the Rays; he was the face of the team for a decade, until he went to San Fran. The Evan/Eva non-connection was a standing joke here.
It’s the nature of the Rays to have players for a few years before they move on, but he was different, and now we have Wander Franco who won’t be wandering; signed up until 2030 I think.
