By now, we know that Mike Ford’s been on the merry-go-round. Just counting the Mariners, this is his fourth tour of duty. Last year, he played for four different teams and was with the Mariners two separate times. It’s not unheard of to get passed around the League like a vape at a UW frat party (is this something youths do?), but it is unusual to do it and still make the big league club with each of those four teams.
He got those opportunities because there’s something there with Mike Ford. This website has been thirsty for Ford since the 2017 offseason.
