The Colorado Rockies released right-hander
Connor Seabold on Wednesday to clear a spot for a potential Rule 5 draft pick, according to a source. Seabold hasn't been any good in his three years in the majors, and that continued in 2023, as he had a rough 7.52 ERA (5.75 FIP) and 1.65 WHIP while walking 28 and striking out 67 in 87 1/3 innings over 27 appearances (13 starts) for the Rockies. The 27-year-old will hope to latch on with another team on a minor-league deal. He has an 8.12 ERA and 1.77 WHIP with 86 strikeouts in 108 2/3 career innings at the big-league level since 2021 in 33 outings (19 starts) for the Rockies and Boston Red Sox.

The Colorado Rockies have acquired right-handed pitcher
Connor Seabold from the Boston Red Sox. Per a tweet from MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Tuesday, Colorado is sending a player to be named or cash considerations to the American League East club. Seabold made five starts for Boston during the 2022 season, throwing 18.1 innings in the process while logging an 11.29 ERA, a 6.39 FIP, and 19 strikeouts compared to eight walks allowed. He'll give the Rockies some additional rotation depth heading into next season. As of now, Colorado's starting pitching options include
Kyle Freeland,
German Marquez,
Antonio Senzatela,
Austin Gomber,
Peter Lambert,
Jose Urena, and
Ryan Feltner.

The Boston Red Sox designated right-hander
Connor Seabold for assignment on Thursday to make room on the 40-man roster for the recently signed
Corey Kluber. In his second major-league season with the Red Sox in 2022, Seabold had a rough go of it, allowing 24 runs (23 earned) on 35 hits (five home runs) while walking eight and striking out 19 in 18 1/3 innings pitched over five starts. The 26-year-old has a 10.55 ERA (6.82 FIP), 2.25 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in his six major-league starts with Boston, but he's been much better in the minor leagues. In his last two seasons at Triple-A Worcester, Seabold has fanned 141 batters over 140 2/3 innings.

Boston Red Sox right-hander
Connor Seabold (forearm) was removed from his start against the New York Yankees on Friday due to right forearm extensor tightness. The 26-year-old was hit hard prior to his removal from the game. His final line was 2 2/3 innings, nine hits, two walks, seven earned runs and two strikeouts. He was called up from Triple-A prior to the outing. If he's able to avoid the injured list, he's likely to be back in Triple-A soon as the Red Sox rotation will have several arms returning over the next few weeks.
