After the 2018 season, Segura was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. He spent four seasons in Philadelphia before finishing his career with Miami in 2023.
Segura was with the Baltimore Orioles organization in 2024, but didn’t earn an MLB call up. He most recently played in the Dominican Winter League.
Segura finishes his MLB career with over 11 years of service time, making him eligible for the fully vested pension.
He was a career .281 hitter with 110 home runs, 513 runs batted in, 211 stolen bases, 237 doubles and an OPS of .729. In addition to his two All-Star selections, he led the NL in hits in 2016 with 203 and appeared in 17 postseason games, including six World Series games with the Phillies in 2022.
