| 11/14/23 | Mariners select OF Zach DeLoach to the 40-man roster, designate Mike Ford for assignment.

DeLoach was the Mariners' second-round pick in 2020, and the Mariners are reportedly in love with his swing, a clean lefty swing built to make line drive contact. Subpar results at Double-A in 2021 could be explained away easily enough: DeLoach lost a year-plus of traditional development with the pandemic and was given a tough assignment with a late-season promotion to Double-A Arkansas.
