Phillies decline Jean Segura’s $17M option for 2023

The Phillies have declined Jean Segura’s $17M club option for the 2023 season.

The Phillies have exercised the club option on RHP Aaron Nola for the 2023 season. Additionally, the Phillies have declined the club option on INF Jean Segura. Finally, RHP Zach Eflin declined his side of the mutual option and is now a free agent.

Jean Segura will now test the free agent market and will most certainly get a deal from a team that is still trying to compete. Segura, who is just 32 years old, still has a lot left in the tank, but it just doesn’t make sense for him to come back to Philadelphia, especially for $17M.

Segura slashed .277/.336/.387 in 2022, tallying 10 HRs and 33 RBIs in just 98 games. Segura was hurt for a good part of the year but was a big part of the team in the late-September run and early rounds of the playoffs.

Jean played four seasons in Philadelphia, slashing .281/.337/.418 in that time. Segura was always trustworthy in the field and had many clutch moments as a Phillie, with his slap single to right-field in the 9th inning of Game 1 of the NLWCS topping that list.
