The Guardians released Segura after acquiring him from the Marlins on Tuesday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 33-year-old and Kahlil Watson were sent to Cleveland in exchange for Josh Bell, but Segura will instead head straight to the open market. Segura has struggled at the plate with a .219/.277/.279 slash line in 326 plate appearances this season, but it's still somewhat of a surprise to see the Guardians let him go with well over $10 million left on his contract.
Jean Segura Headed to Cleveland
The Marlins traded Segura and Kahlil Watson on Tuesday in exchange for Josh Bell, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Marlins haven't quite received the production they were expecting from Segura when they signed him to a two-year deal in the offseason. He's slashing just .219/.277/.279 with 21 RBI through 326 plate appearances and will likely slot into a bench role.
