MARINERS MOVE TO GET FORD BACK
The Seattle Mariners acquired first baseman Mike Ford from the San Francisco Giants for cash.
What does it give the Seattle Mariners
The Mariners sent Ford to San Francisco last month, and now they get him back in exchange for cash. Will Ford's latest stint with Seattle be more fruitful than the previous one? Unlikely.
What does it give the San Francisco Giants
The Giants recently designated Ford for assignment, as he was clearly a short-term addition due to San Francisco's injury issues. The Giants will get back a little cash.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Ford needs to first prove he can stick at the big-league level over an extended period of time.
