1 year agoSeattle Mariners first baseman/designated hitter Mike Ford was designated for assignment Tuesday, per Seattle Sports. The move came to protect minor league outfielder Zach DeLoach from the Rule 5 draft. The 31-year-old provided power off the bench but little else, slashing .228/.323/.475 with 16 home runs and 34 RBI in 251 plate appearances. On the other hand, the 25-year-old DeLoach had a strong 2023 season with Triple-A Tacoma, slashing .286/.387/.481 with 23 HR, 88 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 623 plate appearances.
