Jean Segura lost 14 pounds, willing to play where Phillies need him

Every year, when players begin reporting for Spring Training, there is one guarantee: at least one player coming off a disappointing season will report to camp in the “best shape of his life.” This season for the Philadelphia Phillies, that player is Jean Segura.

On Monday, Segura told reporters that he lost 14 pounds this offseason through working out and cutting alcohol from his diet:

The Phillies acquired Segura in a trade in December of 2018 that sent Carlos Santana and J.P. Crawford to the Seattle Mariners and, at the time, looked like a big win for general manager Matt Klentak.
