The Mariners announced a pair of roster moves Saturday afternoon.
First baseman Mike Ford, their Rule 5 Draft pick from the Yankees in December, which means he needed to make the 25-man roster and be there for the entirety of the 2018 season, or else be would be cleared through waivers before being offered back to the Yankees.
He cleared waivers, so now he’s back in New York.
The Mariners knew him well. The 25-year-old played with Servais’ son, Tyler Servais, at Princeton University.
