The Detroit Tigers have added another right-handed pitcher to the organization, via the Toronto Blue Jays.
Earlier this month, Seabold activated an opt-out in his Blue Jays contract when it turned out that he wouldn't make the MLB roster.
On Monday, the Tigers signed him to a deal, according to The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen.
"Tigers have signed RHP Connor Seabold to a split contract worth $800k at the MLB level," Stavenhagen wrote on X. "To make room on the 40-man, Beau Brieske has been placed on the 60-day IL with a left adductor strain."

Seabold has spent time in the organizations of the Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies, Tampa Bay Rays and Atlanta Braves.
He most recently pitched in the majors for Atlanta in 2025, putting up a 9.82 ERA in four appearances.
He also pitched three games for the Rays in 2025 with a 1.35 ERA.
He spent the 2024 season in the Korea Baseball Organization. Before that, he pitched for the Rockies in 2023, a 7.52 ERA in 27 outings.
In 2021 and 2022, Seabold had major league time with the Red Sox, his first two MLB seasons -- a 6.00 ERA in just one outing in 2021, then an 11.29 ERA in five outings in 2022.
All added up, Seabold has a career 7.79 ERA at the MLB level. In the minor leagues, he has a 4.16 ERA. That lone year in Korea yielded a 3.43 ERA for Seabold.
He strikes out 7.3 batters per nine innings at the MLB level and walks 3.3 per nine.
Seabold isn't likely to have a big role with the Tigers, but he'll be usable depth if they need him at some point this season.
