The move remakes half the Phillies infield for 2019 (for now) as Segura will take over at shortstop and Rhys Hoskins will move back to first base. Righty Nicasio and lefty Pazos will join a suddenly crowded bullpen, with both relievers expected to see action in later innings next season. Their presence alone immediately makes the Phillies bullpen better.

You can find great, in depth analysis of this trade elsewhere but I'm particularly interested in the baseball cards of the new Phillies trio. Segura started appearing in Bowman products in 2010 with the Angels, and his first Topps flagship card appeared in 2013 when he was with the Brewers. It appears as if he's in just about every major 2018 baseball card release.
Nicasio, who earned a 2017 Chachi card for his 2-game appearance with the Phillies that season, hasn't appeared on a mainstream baseball card since his 2015 Topps Update appearance with the Dodgers. Finally, the only Pazos baseball cards out there are in the 2016 Topps, 2016 Topps Heritage and 2017 Topps Update sets.

If the Mariners flip Santana to another team before Spring Training, will there be a "Departures Update"? :-)
To many sign-ins on Google on this computer.....
If the post didn;t go through, Topps Now already has cards to showcase this deal; the Segura card is OS-55
J.P. Crawford was one of the biggest-ballyhooed non-entities by the Phillies' PR machine since the Baby Aces of the mid-1990s!
TSR - There won't be a Santana Departures Update card in the 2019 Chachi set, and I'll leave that to any Mariners bloggers/custom card makers out there!
