The Seattle Mariners are struggling to fill their infield positions as the offseason progresses. With needs at first, second, and third base, their only significant move has been acquiring Austin Shenton from the Tampa Bay Rays, which is unlikely to boost their playoff chances.

Rumored trades involving players like Alec Bohm, Triston Casas, and Nico Hoerner have not materialized, and attempts to acquire Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals have been unsuccessful. The Mariners may need to explore other options, including Hye-Seong Kim and Yoan Moncada.
