The 27-year-old Marlowe is the best-known player to M's fans, as he's taken 96 at-bats in the big leagues over two seasons. He even delivered an eventual game-winning grand slam to help the M's win a game in 2023. He's a .240 career hitter with three homers in the big leagues.

Thomas is another familiar name, as he was acquired last season in the deal that sent reliever Ryne Stanek to the New York Mets.

Rodden was selected by the M's in the 2023 draft out of Wichita State and captured a minor league Gold Glove award in 2024. Only listed at 5-feet-7 inches tall, Rodden is graded as a solid runner and a solid defender by MLB scouting services. He's currently ranked as the No. 27 prospect in the organization by MLB Pipeline.

He hit .257 last season between Single-A Everett and Double-A Arkansas. He had 14 home runs.

The Mariners will continue Cactus League play for the next two-plus weeks before heading North to open the regular season on March 27 against the Athletics.

Seattle went 85-77 last season, missing the playoffs by just one game.
