The Mariners are calling up their No. 4 prospect catcher Harry Ford, MLB.com reported on Monday. It's unknown when Ford will make his MLB debut.
This decision by Seattle may appear puzzling as the team's catcher Cal Raleigh is the AL MVP favorite and leads the league with 50 home runs. Raleigh isn't hurt or anything, so calling up Ford sounds like a backup situation. Ford will likely be placed as designated hitter or will play as catcher when Raleigh needs a rest day.
