Former Phillies prospect Connor Seabold is set to debut this weekend.

It seems like forever ago when the Philadelphia Phillies parted ways with Nick Pivetta and prospect Connor Seabold — as part of what seemed like a desperate trade then-general manager Matt Klentak made with the Boston Red Sox.

In reality, the August 2020 trade was not long ago … but fans likely wan’t to forget it. In return, the Phillies received two relievers — Heath Hembree and Brandon Workman — who combined surrendered 23 earned runs in 22 1/3 innings.
