PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies might have found their shortstop of the future -- and it is not Manny Machado.
Early Monday evening, a day after sources confirmed to MLB.com that the Phillies were on the verge of acquiring Jean Segura from Seattle, the clubs announced the deal, which also sends former Phillies right-hander Juan Nicasio and lefty reliever James Pazos to Philadelphia for shortstop J.P. Crawford and veteran slugger Carlos Santana.
Segura, 28, is an immediate upgrade to the left side of the Phillies' infield.
