The Phillies rumors over the last couple of days have primarily circulated around the trade with Seattle bringing Jean Segura and two relievers to Philadelphia for J.P. Crawford and Carlos Santana.
Philadelphia is far from done, but this trade knocks several things off their to-do list for the offseason. The Segura trade helped the Phillies improve in so many ways: they improve at first base, shortstop, bullpen, and left field. Now that there is more flexibility Philadelphia can move on.
The Winter Meetings begin next week in Las Vegas, and the Phillies still have a lot of decisions and holes.
