The Philadelphia Phillies announced they acquired shortstop Jean Segura from the Seattle Mariners as part of a trade on Monday.
Philadelphia landed Segura, relief pitcher Juan Nicasio and relief pitcher James Pazos in exchange for shortstop J.P. Crawford and first baseman Carlos Santana.
A two-time All-Star, Segura hit .308 over the past three seasons in addition to 41 home runs and 172 RBI. He led all qualified major league shortstops with a .304 batting average in 2018 and finished ninth in WAR.
The 28-year-old signed a five-year, $70 million extension in June 2017 and was expected to be part of the team's long-term future that would also include second baseman Robinson Cano and third baseman Kyle Seager among others.
