Jean Segura becomes free agent as Phillies decline option

Following his first exposure to postseason baseball, Jean Segura is set to become a free agent.

The Phillies declined their $17 million team option on the veteran infielder, the club announced Monday night, allowing him to hit the open market when free agency begins on Friday. Segura will receive a $1 million buyout.

The team also announced that it picked up its 2023 option on right-hander Aaron Nola and that right-hander Zach Eflin declined his end of a mutual option for next year.

Segura, 32, had bounced around between four teams after entering majors in 2012 before being traded to Philadelphia ahead of the 2019 season.
