in the Hot Stove League. The Mariners
keep it quiet for the most part.
On Twitter mentioned they are interested
in an outfielder from Japan. His name is
Masataka Yoshida. He bats left handed
and throws right. He is 29 years old and
has batted over .300 in his career in Japan.
See where things go.
Today going to look at Mariners six thru eight
prospects. All three are pitcher
# 6 Walter Ford a right handed pitcher and no
relation to top prospect Harry Ford. He was
drafted this year in round B as competitive
balance by the Mariners. He is drafted out of
high school. His arrival in majors is listed
2026. At a young age he throws 95-97 fast
ball. He throws slider and changeup to. His
changeup has work to do.
#7 Taylor Dollar right hander drafted in
the 5th round by the Mariners in 2020.
Taylor had such an outstanding season
in 2022 at Arkansas he was named the
pitcher of the year in the Texas League.
There is a chance we will see him in
Seattle this year. Though a starter the
Mariners could move him to the bullpen
since the rotation is crowded.
#8 Lefty Adam Macko was drafted in the
7th round by the Mariners in 2019 out of
high school. He is only 21 years old. This
year he spen the season at high A Everett
where he started eight games on the year
with an era of 3.99. Macko struck out 60
batters in 38 and 1/3 innings. He projected
to make his debut with the Mariners in 2024.
If they don't have room in the rotation being
a lefty out of the bullpen maybe ideal. We will
have to see.
Next time on the Mariners we hope for a
signing or a trade. We look at prospects #9
and 10. They are the likely ones to be seen
in Seattle the top ten though the Mariners have
had other ones come through. Last year Penn
Murfee was a lower prospect. Go M's.
