Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic noted the potential deal late Sunday night, mentioning it'll likely fall into place once the Mariners finalize their deal involving Edwin Diaz and Robinson Cano with the New York Mets.
Segura has a full no-trade clause built into his contract, so at this point, anything is still possible. All signs, however, point to the Mariners and Phillies making a deal.Once Cano-Diaz to #Mets is official, #Mariners have next deal lined up. Team is in serious talks on a trade that would send shortstop Jean Segura to Philadelphia, sources tell The Athletic. Segura holds full no-trade clause, and would need to approve the deal.

Segura, 28, hit .304/.341/.415 with 29 doubles, 10 homers, 20 steals and 91 runs last season. He is in the midst of a five-year, $70 million deal through 2022 with a club option for 2023.
Crawford, 23, has regressed a bit at the plate after being recognized at one point as one of the top prospects in all of baseball. In two seasons at the big league level, he's hit just .214/.333/.358 over 72 games.
