The Rays optioned Seabold to Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He'll give up his spot in the Tampa Bay bullpen to right-hander Kevin Kelly (glute), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list. After getting a call-up from Durham on May 9, Seabold made just two relief appearances for the Rays and gave up an earned run on six hits and one walk over 3.2 innings.

The Rays selected Seabold's contract from Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seabold had produced a 4.55 ERA and 26:7 K:BB over 27.2 innings and six appearances (five starts) this season with Durham. The right-hander will give manager Kevin Cash some length in the bullpen.

The Rays reassigned Seabold to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Seabold previously made 19 starts at the big-league level between stops with the Red Sox and Rockies from 2021 through 2023, but he fell short in his bid for a spot in the Rays' Opening Day rotation. The 29-year-old right-hander will head to Triple-A Durham to begin the campaign, but after excelling in the Korea Baseball Organization with the Samsung Lions last season and acquitting himself well in Grapefruit League play this spring (4.91 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, .171 batting average against in 11 innings), Seabold could be in the mix for starts with the Rays later on in 2025.

The Rays signed Seabold to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seabold, 29, pitched for the Samsung Lions in Korea in 2024, posting a 3.43 ERA and 158:40 K:BB across 160 innings. He's managed just an 8.12 ERA over parts of three big-league seasons and is likely to open 2025 as part of the rotation at Triple-A Durham.

Seabold signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Samsung Lions of the Korea Baseball Organization on Friday, Jee-ho Yoo of South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seabold will have an opportunity to make an additional $100,000 in incentives, which would bring his earnings to an even $1 million. It's a nice little raise and opportunity for the soon-to-be 28-year-old after he was released by the Rockies earlier this month following a 7.52 ERA in 2023.

Seabold was released by the Rockies on Wednesday, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster if they wanted to make a pick during Wednesday's Rule 5 Draft, and they've done just that. Seabold posted a ghastly 7.52 ERA over 27 appearances (13 starts) for Colorado in 2023. He'll turn 28 next month.

Seabold allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over four innings in Sunday's win against the Twins. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision,

EDGE Analysis

Seabold coughed up two runs in the second inning before turning in three scoreless frames. He entered the contest after Brent Suter threw one inning as the opener. Seabold has yielded 13 runs over 9.2 MLB innings since the start of August and ended his 2023 campaign with a 7.52 ERA across 87.1 frames.

The Rockies recalled Seabold from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Seabold returns as a fresh bullpen arm for the Rockies leading into their final four games of the 2023 campaign. The 27-year-old right-hander carries an ugly 7.65 ERA through 82.1 major-league innings this season.

The Rockies optioned Seabold to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Colorado will swap Seabold off the 26-man active roster in favor of a fresh arm in right-hander Karl Kauffmann, who should serve as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. Seabold was touched up for seven earned runs on eight hits and one walk over two innings of mop-up duty in his most recent appearance in Monday's 12-1 loss to the Brewers. After the ugly outing, Seabold is now sitting on a 7.65 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over 82.1 innings on the season.

Seabold has been demoted to a bullpen role, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seabold was lit up for six earned runs over just 2.1 innings in his last turn through the Rockies' rotation July 15 against the Yankees, ballooning his season ERA to 7.18. Peter Lambert is coming up from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Friday's series opener in Miami.
