The Phillies filled a lot of holes last offseason, adding four new players to their 2019 opening day lineup. One of the holes they filled was at shortstop, acquiring Jean Segura and his long-term contract from Seattle for prospect J.P. Crawford.
Since that trade Segura made 20 errors, dealt with injuries, and had his hustle come into question early on. He’s made at least 17 errors at short in his last three seasons between Philadelphia and Seattle, and now his future is in question this offseason.
Amid trade rumors circling Segura, multiple reports have connected the Phillies to manager Joe Girardi’s former shortstop in New York, Didi Gregorius.
