The Mariners optioned Shenton to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
In his first spring with the Mariners after being traded from Tampa Bay during the offseason, Shenton went 9-for-34 with two RBI, four runs scored and 13 strikeouts. He'll now head to Triple-A to begin the 2025 campaign but could soon work his way back to Seattle, as he owns a .932 OPS across his Triple-A career.

The Rays traded Shenton to the Mariners on Tuesday in exchange for cash, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After making his MLB debut and appearing in 19 games for the Rays in 2024, Shenton will now reunite with the organization that originally drafted him back in 2019. The 26-year-old infielder slashed .258/.361/.497 with 20 home runs and 65 RBI across 363 minor-league plate appearances last season, and he will likely remain an organizational depth piece upon moving to Seattle. JT Chargois was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

The Rays designated Shenton for assignment Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The club has decided it had a better use for a 40-man roster spot ahead of the Rule 5 Draft protection deadline. Shenton will turn 27 in January and has just 50 major-league plate appearances under his belt, but he's slashed .276/.391/.541 with 34 homers in 144 games at the Triple-A level, so there could be interest in the infielder via waivers.

The Rays optioned Shenton to their spring training complex Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The minor-league season for Triple-A Durham is over, so Shenton will stay in shape at the team's spring training facility in case he's needed later this week. Shenton has put up a .745 OPS over 50 plate appearances during his time in the majors this season.

The Rays recalled Shenton from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shenton has a .697 OPS in 44 plate appearances during his time in the big leagues this season and has posted an .858 OPS with 20 homers this year at Durham. The lefty-hitting first baseman/designated hitter could see the occasional start against right-handed pitching.

The Rays optioned Shenton to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays recalled Shenton from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shenton will absorb the roster spot vacated by Amed Rosario, who was traded to the Dodgers on Monday. The 26-year-old put up a .697 OPS over a 17-game stint with the Rays earlier this season. Shenton can play both infield corners and could get a decent amount of playing time, especially if the Rays continue to trade pieces from their major-league roster.
