Last offseason, when the Phillies dealt Carlos Santana and J.P. Crawford in a deal that landed them Jean Segura, it looked like they were solidifying the shortstop position for years to come. However, after just one year, it appears that may not be the case.
Segura is signed through 2022 with a team option in 2023, but it doesn’t seem likely that he will play out his contract at shortstop. He had 20 errors in 2019 and although the team may have liked him to remain at shortstop for more than just one year, a report from Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic indicated that the team acquired Segura with the plan to eventually move him to second or third base at some point during his contract.
