Jean Segura is a shortstop for the Mariners and a damn good one and the idea that we need someone to man short in the Bronx with Didi Gregorius on the mend from Tommy John makes this rumor unbelievably satisfying. I'm just sorry we couldn't pull it off. Don't get me wrong, I love what Cashman did getting Paxton. I just think it would have been magnificent to see Segura in pinstripes too for sure.

"...they were trying to land shortstop Jean Segura too...Getting Segura would make a ton of sense for the Yankees given that Didi Gregorius is going to miss a big chunk of next season. Segura, who will turn 29 in March, has hit .308/.353/.449 over the past three seasons."
That replacement would have been unbelievable. Oh well... we can still dream.
Carry on.
By the way, it was Jon Morosi who had that report first.
