The MLB low season is still in motion and the Miami Marlins are not far behind in their additions, since according to several sources the arrival of Dominican infielder Jean Segura to the Florida team is practically a fact.
After the Philadelphia Phillies refused to continue with the Dominican for 2023 and he became a free agent, the Marlins would agree to a 2-year, $17 million contract, which would be his sixth team in a 10-year career in Major League Baseball.
The Phillies had an excellent campaign in 2022 being National League champions, although Segura did not do so well in the year, he only played 98 games in which he connected 10 home runs, 98 hits and finished with an average of 277.
they need to move
The Marlins have been one of the least-moved teams on the market so far despite being linked with heavyweight free agents like Justin Turner and Cody Bellinger have yet to add a big star on offense.
Florida’s ninth is entrusted to its very good rotation, which is led by the current Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara and with names like Pablo Lopez and the young Jesús Luzardo. However, if they want to compete in the East division of the National League, they must incorporate hitting; the Marlins were the third-worst offensive team in the 2022 season.
For now, Jean Segura could be an addition to bring experience and security to the defense, who along with other veterans like Miguel Rojas, Jorge Soler and Joe Wendle would find a balance to a roster that also has young talents.
