Summary
The Royals just added a bullpen boost with the acquisition of right-hander Connor Seabold from Toronto, trading minor league pitcher Denis Samudio and cash to make it happen. Seabold, who struggled briefly with the Blue Jays but shows solid underlying metrics—especially improved velocity and groundball rate—could be a valuable stopgap as Kansas City deals with a depleted roster, including multiple relievers and starters on the injured list. With closer Carlos Estévez sidelined, Seabold’s arrival fills a critical need, even if his MLB stats haven’t been stellar. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
