I love it. Not gonna miss that at all.
This Segura trade is kind of brutal. Seems like M’s should have been able to get a couple of mid-level prospects, even without the two relievers thrown in. We are basically giving up four peak years of a reasonably priced top 10 SS for... a 23 year that really hasn’t wow’d at any level of professional ball. Plus by taking on Santana we aren’t really getting any salary relief until the 2021 season. I guess if they can flip Santana before the season starts maybe it won’t look so bad but it’s hard to imagine anything too awesome in return. I do think Santana might be a little underrated after a down 2018.
I read that Philly was the only market for Segura which sort of explains the weak-ish return but it doesn’t really explain why they had to pull the trigger on it.
I had fun making all the moves in MLB THE SHOW and playing a spring training game with the 2022 Mariners. Lol.
I won 5-3, but this was pre-Segura trade and he went 3-4, 2 R, HR, 3 RBI.
