Ferrer vs. Ford Trade Fallout

The Nationals head home after a solid but uneven road trip, now facing their former trade partner, the Mariners, in a matchup loaded with intrigue. The deal sent closer Jose Ferrer to Seattle and brought catcher Harry Ford and pitcher Isaac Lyon to Washington. Ford, expected to challenge Keibert Ruiz for the catching job, hasn’t lived up to hype—hitting just .203 with 11 RBIs in Triple-A, though May showed signs of improvement. Ferrer, meanwhile, has thrived in Seattle, splitting closer duties with a strong ERA. This weekend’s series will be a fascinating test of how both players handle their new roles—and old rivalries.
