They\u00a0just claimed Vidal Brujan off of waivers\u00a0on Friday for some bench depth and they continue to shuffle arms to and from the minor leagues in order to try to find some configuration that works. Atlanta isn&#8217;t stopping there as they just added an intriguing new bullpen arm to the mix.<\/p>\n<p>The bullpen remains a problem with the Braves&#8217; roster, although there have been some improvements lately. Tyler Kinley seems to be a quality addition to the bullpen and Atlanta has gotten rid of Rafael Montero and\u00a0Enyel De Los Santos recently which has removed at least some of the volatility in the later innings.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it looks like the Braves are going fully into experimental mode in their search for relief options they can trust. In that spirit, the\u00a0Braves just claimed Connor Seabold off of waivers\u00a0from the Rays.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1954600762710921490&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fhousethathankbuilt.com%2Fbraves-claim-well-traveled-reliever-off-of-waivers-as-roster-shuffle-continues&amp;sessionId=205551b57c5d1ca96a47cd8e058b5e2fd520306b&amp;siteScreenName=HouseHankBuilt&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-twitter-extracted-i1754900363652527146=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Braves?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Braves<\/a>\u00a0claimed RH Connor Seabold off waivers from Tampa Bay and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett. To make room on the Braves&#8217; 40-man roster, RH Domingo Gonz\u00e1lez was designated for assignment.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David O&#8217;Brien (@DOBrienATL)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DOBrienATL\/status\/1954600762710921490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 10, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Braves claim journeyman reliever Connor Seabold in latest attempt to find a workable bullpen<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Seabold was originally the Phillies&#8217; third round pick back in 2017 and he has since bounced around with the Red Sox and Rockies, played last year over in South Korea, and caught back on with Tampa before\u00a0they designated him for assignment a couple days ago.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">In Seabold, the Braves are getting a bit of a reclamation project. He was good over in Korea in 2024, but his results in the minors this year have been less than encouraging. Atlanta isn&#8217;t giving up much to acquire him as giving up Domingo Gonzalez&#8217;s 40-man spot is a nothing burger and if it works out, they get a useful reliever that can throw multiple innings or even give Atlanta a spot starter for basically free.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">We&#8217;ll see if Seabold factors much into the Braves&#8217; plans for the rest of the season. This is certainly the time to do a little bit of experimentation and it looks like the front office is taking advantage of this time while the Braves plays out the rest of the string in 2025.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_2_6\" class=\"mm-slot-content\">\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_2_6_slot0\" data-gpid=\"23162276296\/fansided\/mlb\/housethathankbuilt.com\/inarticle_d_3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minnesota Twins v Tampa Bay Rays | Kevin Sabitus\/GettyImages For a team that is effectively out of the playoff race, the Atlanta Braves are sure staying busy&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":76051,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
