Mariners' confusing draft pick pushes perfect Phillies target closer to trade block

The MLB trade deadline is known for some season-altering moves to help clubs get over the top and take home a World Series. These trades are filled with future top talent and top-tier prospects. After the latest edition of the MLB Draft, picks made by some teams could force certain trades. Harry Ford, a catching prospect in the Seattle Mariners farm system, has been a hot prospect name who's most likely on the trade block following the draft.

The breakout season of the Mariners' current Home Run Derby champion and starting All-Star catcher Cal Raleigh has made Ford’s name pop up in trade rumors as the Mariners look to be more of a contender.
