Mike Ford Stats

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.

The Washington Nationals have claimed first baseman Mike Ford off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The lefty hitting infielder was traded to the Rays earlier in the season, but started the season with the New York Yankees. Hopefully, the 29-year-old will actually get a chance to play on the rebuilding Nats roster. Ford has shown some success at the big league lever earlier in his career. He won't be worth snagging in fantasy formats, but at least he'll hopefully get some playing time in Washington.
