SEATTLE SENDS 1B FORD TO SAN FRANCISCO
The San Francisco Giants acquired first baseman Mike Ford from the Seattle Mariners for cash.
What does it give the San Francisco Giants
With veteran first baseman Brandon Belt currently sidelined due to injury, Ford may see a fair amount of playing time with his new team--at least in the short term. He is a good depth option for the Giants.
What does it give the Seattle Mariners
The Mariners have Ty France as their everyday first baseman these days, so the need to keep Ford in the organization was no longer a priority. So, Seattle moved him on to San Francisco for cash.
Fantasy impact
Ford has a chance to see some playing time in the short term, so he might be worth picking up for those in need of help at first base.
