The Athletic’s Jim Bowden reports that MLB executives believe that Mariners C prospect Harry Ford could be one of the prospects most likely to be traded at the deadline.
Ford is a high-upside catching prospect, but he has no home in Seattle right now with Cal Raleigh recently signed to an extension, so it makes sense that the Mariners may consider dealing Ford. The 22-year-old is slashing .308/.425/.470 in 66 games at Triple-A with nine home runs, 49 RBI, and four steals. The Mariners are in the market for a corner infield bat, and Ford could net them a big return.
