The Mariners have traded for minor league prospect Austin Shenton from the Rays, adding to their offseason moves as they seek to bolster their roster.

Austin Shenton was acquired by the Mariners in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, but this move is seen as insufficient to significantly enhance the team's chances of making the playoffs.

Austin Shenton was acquired by the Mariners from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations, marking Seattle's only move so far this offseason as they look to address their infield needs.

Austin Shenton was traded back to the Mariners after a stint with the Rays, where he did not advance past the Double-A level during his three years in the organization. Originally drafted by Seattle in the fifth round of the 2019 draft, he was part of a trade package that included Diego Castillo when he was sent to Tampa Bay in 2021. Shenton's return adds depth to the Mariners' first base position as they look to bolster their roster.

Austin Shenton, acquired by the Mariners from the Rays, made his major league debut on March 31, batting .214 with one home run and three RBIs in 19 games. In Triple-A Durham, he excelled with a .258 average, 20 homers, 65 RBIs, and an .858 OPS over 83 games.
