Mariners touting prospects stolen illegally from Yankees

A website delving into Seattle's farm system has identified Nick Rumbelow and Mike Ford - two players coaxed from the Yankees as a result of the recent Rule 5 draft - as prospects to watch in 2018.

 Technically, Rumbelow was acquired in a trade, but the deal was made entirely because the Yankees couldn't protect him in the winter draft. Ford was selected in the draft, which all competent Yankee scholars view as an illegal seizure of private assets, unconstitutional under any credible system aside from Major League Baseball.

 Fortunately, Ford would be returned to the Yankees, if he doesn't spend the entire year on Seattle's 25-man roster. Hopefully, this kind of hostage-taking will be punished on the diamond.

    Aye, and as I and any baseball-followin' fan from Scutland can tell ye, that Ford is gonna be a good'un. Our best hope is he has an awful spring, and the Mariners send him down—and back.

    Being an ignorant American, I cannot tell if you are doing a Scottish (or Irish, no difference to us) or a Pirate accent. Doesn't sound like anyone I know from Pittsburgh though!

    This is a minor league blog, not a Mariners one. But I'm thankful anyone thinks the Mariners have any prospects, let alone any that are ready for the big leagues. Where they came from is not a concern out here.
