The Miami Marlins plan to use newly signed infielder Jean Segura at third base next season, according to manager Skip Schumaker. The Marlins signed the 32-year-old veteran to a two-year, $17 million deal on Wednesday night. Segura played exclusively at second base for the Philadelphia Phillies last year and he can also play shortstop, but the Marlins plan on using him as their primary third baseman next year with Miguel Rojas at shortstop and Jazz Chisholm at the keystone. Segura is hard to strike out and makes a lot of contact, leading to a career average of .285, but he lacks prototypical pop (only 10 homers in 2022) for the third base position. He's a very good defender, but Segura's fantasy appeal takes a hit with the move to Miami.
The Miami Marlins and free-agent shortstop Jean Segura agreed to a two-year, $17 million deal on Wednesday. Segura will remain in the National League East after spending the last four seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, the last of which led to a World Series appearance in his first postseason experience. The 32-year-old veteran infielder makes plenty of contact but lacks any kind of power upside. He hit .277/.336/.387 with a .723 OPS, 10 home runs, 33 RBI, 45 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 387 plate appearances and 98 regular season games for the Phils in 2022. With Jazz Chisholm cemented at the hot corner in Miami, expect Segura to move back to shortstop in 2023. The move to the Marlins will be a downgrade in both lineup and ballpark from a fantasy standpoint.
The Philadelphia Phillies declined the club option on second baseman Jean Segura on Monday, making him a free agent. The Phillies will pay Segura a $1 million buyout instead of retaining him for $17 million in 2023. The 32-year-old Dominican played in just 98 regular season games for the Phillies this year due to injury and hit .277/.336/.387 with 10 home runs, 33 RBI, 45 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 387 plate appearances. In his first career postseason run, Segura went 12-for-56 (.214) with seven RBI, four runs scored, two walks and 14 strikeouts in 17 games. The two-time All-Star is more of a contact over power guy who doesn't run nearly as much as he did in his prime, making him a low-upside fantasy option as he approaches the tail end of his career.

Miami Marlins infielder Jean Segura could be in for a quality fantasy season in his first year with the National League East club. The veteran, who spent the last four years with the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, hit .277 with a .336 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and 13 stolen bases in 387 plate appearances last year in his final season with the defending National League champions. The stolen bases were the most the infielder has collected since the 2018 season, and he could be in for more stolen bases in 2023 thanks to the introduction of larger bases. There's certainly the potential for Segura to reach the 20-stolen base mark, something he did for six consecutive seasons from 2013 to 2018. Elsewhere, with a batting average above .270 in seven of his last nine full Major League seasons, Segura has one of the better track records in the league where average is concerned. Combine that with the stolen base upside, and the 32-year-old's home run potential -; he's recorded double-digit home runs in each of the last five seasons -; and it gives him plenty of fantasy upside heading into the 2023 season.
