Connor Seabold is one of those after spending Spring Training with the Toronto Blue Jays . Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling reported Saturday that the Blue Jays have granted Seabold his release. It was due to a release clause in Seabold's contract, according to Zwelling.
Essentially, that means that Seabold had wording in his contract that allowed him to activate his own release if he wasn't going to make the major league roster out of camp. This signals that the Blue Jays are narrowing down their battle for relief spots, but they don't seem to have it quite all decided yet. Seabold will now look for a new team, and there's always use for more bullpen arms.
