The Toronto Blue Jays made several trades with teams across Major League Baseball in 2026.
One that may have gone somewhat unnoticed was moving pitcher Connor Seabold to the Kansas City Royals for cash and Denis Samudio. That trade was made in mid-June, and several months after the deal, Seabold has made a decision about his future in MLB.

Connor Seabold Elects Free Agency After Royals Stint
On Thursday, October 22, Connor Seabold was outrighted to AAA Omaha (with the Royals).
Instead of accepting that assignment, he has decided to elect minor-league free agency.
It’s a smart move for Seabold, who likely wants another shot with a different organization.
“RHP Connor Seabold elected free agency.”
Seabold has moved across MLB over the past few seasons and was actually acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays in May of 2026 from the Detroit Tigers.
In 2026, Seabold logged 3.1 innings with the Jays and allowed three earned runs on six hits.
Seabold is an MLB veteran of five seasons, but he’s already logged innings with seven different MLB teams.
