Earlier this week, the New York Yankees designated first baseman Mike Ford for assignment. On Thursday, the Yankees found him a new home — Tamp Bay.
It’s interesting that the Yankees would make a deal with the team they’re chasing in the American League East right now, and fans on social media were shook by the news that Ford was heading to a rival.
Earlier today, the Yankees traded INF Mike Ford to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for cash considerations and a player to be named later.

The fact that the Rays are interested in Ford is terrifying.
