Mariners selected the contract of C Harry Ford from Triple-A Tacoma.
Ford, the 12th overall pick in the 2021 draft, will make his major league debut after hitting .283/.408/.460 with 16 homers and seven steals for Tacoma. After seeing a little time in the outfield last year, he was exclusively a catcher this season. He probably won’t be a full-timer for the Mariners, but he could see some action between DH and catcher in tandem with Cal Raleigh, at least when Jorge Polanco is starting in the infield. Mitch Garver is surely in line for less playing time.
