Austin Shenton is among the players competing for playing time at second and third base for the Mariners, as the team looks to fill gaps in their infield. His performance in spring training will be crucial as Seattle evaluates its roster options.

Austin Shenton was acquired by the Mariners in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, marking the team's only significant infield acquisition so far as they seek to fill multiple positions.

Austin Shenton could potentially play third base for the Mariners, but he has limited experience at the major league level, with only 19 games played in 2024 for the Tampa Bay Rays. His lack of experience raises questions about the team's in-house options for the upcoming season.
