Mariner trade Harry Ford for Jose Ferrer

Yeah man! This is BIG!

I'll be honest. I've never heard of this cat, until today. Been watching YouTube highlights for the last 5 min. M's must really see something. They've built dominant bullpen before. Lets hope they can do it again. Nats must've really not wanted to trade him.

Maybe no one had interest in coming to Seattle.

A trade for a reliever always felt inevitable considering the M’s only have about $15M left to spend, and most of that will go towards Polanco’s AAV if they are to retain him.

I mean, he throws 100 from the left side and is controlled for forever. Throws a plus changeup to righties and a plus slider to lefties.

Welp there goes all the ppl who told me the M's were going to be set on using Ford as a backup lol.

MLBTV has it as an overpay by the M's but acknowledge it's close to a fair trade cause Ford is blocked and Ferrer could be dominant moving forward.

Thats what the FO said, not just the fans. The fans were repeating what they heard. So all the people who told you came from mgmt. Things change.

Obviously that failed. JP Crawford is our starting Shortstop in 2026. But if the Rangers offered Corey Seager for JP, then that would contradict what the front office announced. Everything is fluid when it comes to roster constructing.

It didn't contradict anything lol.

It doesn't help anyone to publicly announce that they're trying to move Ford. Diminishes his value.

Maintaining that you see him as a valid option alongside Cal keeps his value up. According to Divish, they've been trying to move him for a while.

Varitek for Slocumb Redux?

Varitek for Slocumb Redux?

If Slocumb threw 100 from the left side, wasn't coming off a 5.17 ERA season, and wasn't a 6-year vet with no control.
