The Toronto Blue Jays have completed a trade to reacquire right-handed pitcher Connor Seabold from the Detroit Tigers. This trade involves left-hander Juanmi Vasquez moving to Detroit. The announcement was made on Wednesday.
Details of the Trade
Seabold, who previously signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays in January, was released just before the regular season began. Shortly after, the Tigers claimed him off waivers. During his time with Detroit this season, the 30-year-old pitcher has made 11 appearances, achieving a commendable 3.45 ERA and recording 14 strikeouts.
Impact on the Blue Jays
To accommodate Seabold’s return, the Blue Jays have moved injured pitcher José Berríos to the 60-day injured list. This strategic move reflects their need for depth in their pitching rotation.
