Listen "MLB TRADE: What I Like MOST About The Washington Nationals Acquiring Catcher Harry Ford"
Episode Synopsis
Washington Nationals pull off a blockbuster, landing top catching prospect Harry Ford from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for bullpen ace Jose Ferrer. Could Ford's rare combination of power and speed make him an Opening Day starter and signal a new era behind the plate? Host Ryan Clary dissects the analytics behind Ford's booming Triple-A season and rising prospect status, sparking intrigue around his offensive upside and defensive skill set. With Ferrer's departure, Washington’s already-struggling bullpen reaches historic lows—will new POBO Paul Toboni address the team’s glaring relief pitching void at Winter Meetings? Key discussion includes the uncertain futures of Keibert Ruiz, Riley Adams, and Nationals pitching star MacKenzie Gore, who’s rumored to be on the trade block. Is a deal with the San Francisco Giants for Bryce Eldridge imminent? Don’t miss Ryan Clary’s energetic breakdown of Nationals’ bold moves and the shifting landscape of the NL East.00:00 Harry Ford's Growth & Potential06:11 Player Decline vs Prospect Rise09:04 Nationals, Mariners Trade Insights12:15 Nationals Acquire Top Prospect Ford16:45 Nationals' Bullpen Challenges Loom Large17:52 Nationals Bullpen Moves: Rule 524:55 Bryce Eldridge: Elite MLB Prospect27:56 "Mackenzie Gore Trade Speculation"Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_NationalsSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONMLB for $20 off your first purchase.
