Two days ago, I posted what type of market there could be for 2B Jean Segura. Segura was coming off his best season to date with a .319/.368/.499 season that also included being a Gold Glove finalist. Many Snakepitters were skeptical that he would be able to repeat that type of MVP Caliber season where Segura posted 5.7/5.0 bWAR/fWAR. Even though Segura was arguably the team’s most productive player in 2016, but ultimately was playing a position where there was a surplus of depth with Chris Owings capable of playing either middle infield spot. So the Diamondbacks and Mike Hazen elected to cash in and sell high.
