"He joined the organization as a waiver claim himself, as the Braves scooped him up after the Rays designated him for assignment in early August. Seabold had two separate stints with the big-league club, making a total of four appearances. The veteran logged an ugly 9.82 ERA across 3 2/3 innings. He failed to record an out in his final outing with Atlanta, allowing two hits and a walk before being relieved."
"Seabold's career ERA now sits at 7.79 in 119 innings, and his underlying metrics aren't much better (5.00 SIERA, 5.62 xFIP). He did post a career-high 20.8% strikeout rate in 2025, though it came with an untenable 12.5% walk rate. Seabold leaned on his changeup more often this season, particularly since he joined the Braves (32.1% usage rate). He has a decent minor league track record and could contend for a long relief spot next season if the adjusted pitch mix produces better results."
Connor Seabold was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett after clearing waivers, and infielder Jonathan Ornelas was also outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett after clearing waivers. Seabold was designated for assignment when Atlanta claimed Joel Payamps off waivers. Seabold made four appearances for Atlanta across two stints, posting a 9.82 ERA in 3 2/3 innings and failing to record an out in his final outing. His 2025 mark across Atlanta and Tampa Bay sits at a 4.35 ERA over seven games. Career metrics include a 7.79 ERA in 119 innings, 5.00 SIERA, 5.62 xFIP, a 20.8% strikeout rate and a 12.5% walk rate. Seabold increased changeup usage to 32.1% with Atlanta, retains minor-league track record, and could vie for a long-relief role if pitch-mix adjustments improve results.
