Good morning folks and happy Thursday! The Mariners are off, but the links continue. Let’s get to ‘em.
In Mariners news...
- The Mariners may have traded several prospects recently, but they’ve got a good one still in Harry Ford.
The #Mariners might have a good one in C Harry Ford. He's been really good at Modesto. Slashing .262/.410/.408, but more importantly running an elite 14% chase rate, best in the organization. It's supreme discipline. Throwing out more than 25% of base-stealers. Good player.
