Wow.

What an oddly silent tweet on a Monday morning.

Vogel must be losing his mind. Sauryn Lao (who he called untouchable) has been DFA'd. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Interesting, wonder what the plan is to use him and how does this affect his control, another Arod moment?
One of the best catching prospects in the game, Ford is now the third catcher on Seattle's roster, joining Cal Raleigh and Mitch Garver. The 22-year-old Ford slashed .283/.408/.460 with 16 home runs and seven steals in 97 games at Triple-A. Despite being one of the youngest players at Triple-A, Ford's 0.84 BB/K is the 15th best mark among qualified Triple-A hitters and his seven steals were the second most among Triple-A backstops

Lao is gone? :cry:

JK, I didn't even recognize the name. But it makes me think of Lao Che from Temple of Doom:

No more Donnie Barrels?!?!?! :roll: :roll:

Glad to finally see Rivas. Give the rookie Young a breather or two or three...

I know nothing about Luke Jackson. A total wild card for me. Maybe you guys know more about him.

But anyone to help this bullpen God bless.

Dipoto might point at that
. With Ford added to the roster, Seattle has its first round draft selection from 5 consecutive drafts on the active roster: RHP Logan Gilbert (2018), RHP George Kirby (2019), RHP Emerson Hancock (2020), C Harry Ford (2021) and INF Cole Young (2022).

I could see them starting Ford in right against lefties for the next little while.

You think they would play him in the outfield? His premier without any experience at it and in a playoff race? I had spaced out this far away, its roster expansion. He's going to mostly sit on the bench and watch, that's really what he there for
