The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired RHP Connor Seabold from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for LHP Juanmi Vasquez.

Seabold, 30, has made 11 appearances for the Tigers this season, posting a 3.45 ERA across 15 2/3 innings.

The right-hander signed a minor league contract with the Blue Jays this offseason, making six appearances during spring training as a non-roster invite. The Laguna Hills, Calif., native was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the third round of the 2017 First-Year Player Draft, making his MLB debut with the Boston Red Sox in 2021.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound righty has suited up for 51 career MLB games (19 starts) between the Red Sox, Rockies, Braves, Rays, and Tigers, combining to post a 7.28 ERA over 134 2/3 innings.

Vasquez, 22, has suited up for 12 games with High-A Vancouver in 2026, going 0-3 with a 5.87 ERA, issuing 16 walks while striking out 35 hitters over 23 innings. The New York, N.Y., native was signed by Toronto in the summer of 2022 and has spent the entirety of his five-year professional career in the Blue Jays’ system.

Across four levels and 68 career minor league contests (five starts), the 5-foot-11, 205-pound lefty has posted a 4.94 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP with a 26.6% strikeout rate, an 11.8% walk rate, and a 32.4% whiff rate.

Additionally, RHP José Berríos has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.
