Who among us hasn’t fantasized about making it big and causing an ex to ferment in their regret? For New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford, that fantasy is a reality.
Check Ford’s Baseball Reference page, and you’ll see NYY beside every year of his professional career, which started in 2013. However, he actually spent an offseason with the Seattle Mariners, who snagged him in the 2017 Rule 5 Draft.
When he didn’t make Seattle’s 25-man roster in Spring Training 2018, he returned to his original team, per Rule 5 regulations.
