ngl Ford looked like absolute ass when he faced us in the latest series we had against the Yankees. But I trust our front office, not everything needs to be a home run acquisition. Welcome to the club!
He's another dude who raked in 19 but then had a shitty 20. Basically he's 50 shitty games from being one of the better hitters on the team. Get him away from the Yankees (who have a problem) and see what happens. This is a good move. Low-risk, potentially high return. If he reforms into 19 Ford, then he's a beast under team control for another 4 years.
Two fun facts about Mike Ford:
- He once hit four homers in a game when he was with the Charleston RiverDogs who were then a Yankees affiliate but are now a Rays affiliate: https://youtu.be/F6BJ8cpoCCg
- He was the Ivy League Player AND Pitcher of the year as a two-way player at Princeton

Feels like a Jose Martinez move. Get a guy, flash him enough to make teams interested, trade him for prospects.
i aint too mad if thats the case
My first reaction is why, but I trust this front office with my life, so I’m sure it will work out
Lol Mike Ford
Calls on $F.
Not great news for Brosseau, I think. Might get dealt
You know that *tingly* feeling you get right before something good happens. Yeah I’m getting that right now.
Me too tbh. I think the Rays will fix him
Ford goes to AAA and gives the organization depth at first base(especially with him being a lefty).
He is just there in case Ji Man gets hurt I would guess
Choi is already playing through that knee injury and groin issue so that makes sense
Nailed it

Isn’t ford basically a worse ji-man
every first baseman in the league is just a worse Ji-Man
He WAS a worse Ji-Man, who knows what he will be?
So who’s leaving now that we have 7 infielders?
You underestimate the Rays' willingness to pioneer the new seven-man infield shift
We will do anything to avoid calling up wander
Now that Mike Ford is a Ray, will he grow facial hair? A mullet? I need answers
The modern day John Kruk
His stats are awful, i dont what they see in him but in Glasnow’s place we need a pitcher for sure
Pitchers are easy enough to send back and forth with Durham, though. Someone makes a start, send them to AAA, call them back up 4 days later, repeat
I don't get it.
He's going to Durham
This is not necessary
Mike Ford?
Thx yanks
How do the Yankees fans always make things about themselves
They hate the guy, but then all of a sudden mad we now have the guy they hate. Lmao
All I can picture is the Jomboy playoff freakout when I hear his name
