The Seattle Mariners pulled the rug out from under their fanbase on Saturday, trading top prospect Harry Ford to the Washington Nationals in a deal that brought back an anonymous left-handed reliever. The trade actually makes sense, but it doesn't seem to be going over well.
Some commenters on social media seem enthusiastic about newcomer lefty Jose A. Ferrer, but there's also a mix of befuddlement and outright outrage. It makes for a telling window into how highly Mariners fans think of Ford, who occupies the No. 42 spot in MLB Pipeline's top 100 prospects.
