Segura was fighting guys in the clubhouse and they just wanted him gone.

I've never seen anything positive written about Segura as a teammate. And this is a guy who's infant son died during a season. The best I've seen is a lukewarm defense of him on the grounds that the experience 'hardened' him.

The guy is...mercurial...to put it politely. He's an asshole to put it less politely.

The Mariners are trying to cut salary and remove him from the clubhouse. They managed to shave off a bit in the short term and quite a bit in the long term. It think that's all they were after. And they got themselves a utility infielder in return so I guess there's a little value there.
