RIP - Diego Segui

 

Diego Segui, a pitcher for the Athletics and others from 1962-1977, passed away on June 24, 2025 at age 87.

Segui debuted with the Kansas City Athletics in 1962, and was a starting pitcher for his first 5 seasons. After 4 years in KayCee, he spent the first half of 1966 with the Washington Senators. 

 

He was traded back to the A's in mid-season, but spent the rest of the year in the minors. When he returned to the majors in 1967, it was as a relief pitcher (except for parts of '70 and '71). Segui pitched for the A's in '67 and '68, then played for the expansion Seattle Pilots in 1969. 

 

He joined the Athletics for a 3rd time from 1970-72, then spent a few years with the Cardinals and the Red Sox. 

 

After a year in the minors, he played for the expansion Seattle Mariners in 1977, thus becoming the only player to have played for both Seattle expansion teams. 

 

Segui wrapped up his career in Mexico from 1978-84.
