Mike Ford News
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Mike Ford went 2-for-4 with two strikeouts in the team's 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday in his debut with the club. Ford was recently signed with Jared Walsh (shoulder) being ruled out for the rest of the season due to thoracic outlet syndrome. The 30-year-old should see decent playing time will splitting at-bats with Matt Thaiss at the cold corner the rest of the way for the out-of-contention Angels, making him worth a look in AL-only leagues. The left-handed slugger is with his fourth team this year alone, as he's also seen action with the Giants, Mariners and Braves. He's played in just 23 games this year, going 8-for-44 (182) with no home runs and five RBI.
Seattle Mariners first baseman Mike Ford was designated for assignment earlier this week. Now, the 29-year-old will have a new home as he was acquired by the San Francisco Giants. In exchange, the Mariners will receive cash considerations for Ford. The Giants are dealing with a small COVID-19 issue, so they need more bodies on their roster. Ford hasn't done much to impress during his time at the big league level. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much to change in San Francisco. In a corresponding move, outfielder Ka'ai Tom has been optioned to the minors to make room for Ford on the active roster.
The Seattle Mariners signed first baseman Mike Ford to a minor league contract on Tuesday. The 29-year-old has played in 101 major league games, all for the New York Yankees. Over those 101 games, he's slashed just .199/.301/.422 with 17 home runs, 41 RBI and 41 runs. He's certainly shown power upside in the minors. He had a 1.007 OPS over 79 games at Triple-A in 2019. Ford will need to continue tapping into that power potential in order to get another shot in the majors.
