Tigers Trade Connor Seabold to Toronto

[Peter Welch]

The Tigers traded RHP Connor Seabold, who had been DFA'd the other day, to the Blue Jays for 22-year-old lefty A-ball pitching "prospect" Juanmi Vasquez, who has a 5.87 ERA in high-A.

I thought Seabold wasn't too bad.  I don't get it.  It reminds me of how the Tigers let Matt Gage and PJ Poulin go last year.  

Why not dump Ricky Vanasco and keep Seabold?

Jason Beck says:

Once Tigers designated Connor Seabold for assignment, they had two options: Trade him for whatever they could get, or lose him on waivers for nothing. Only leverage they had was a team looking to jump waivers. That was the Jays, who had Seabold in camp this spring training.
