The Philadelphia Phillies won’t have to ask Jean Segura twice to move away from shortstop, if that’s what they choose to do this offseason.
Matt Gelb of The Athletic says that the 29-year-old “would welcome” a move to a new position, something that Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic said the Phillies were considering earlier this offseason.
Cesar Hernandez, who has been the Phillies Opening Day starter at second base in each of the last four seasons, was non-tendered Monday. While many Phillies fans – and at least one franchise icon – would like the team to allow Scott Kingery to take over at second base, his natural position, full-time, the organization may be less married to that idea.
