The Tampa Bay Rays have reportedly acquired slick fielding third baseman Ben Williamson from the Seattle Mariners as part of a three-team deal. We will update this article when the trade is finalized.
Drafted 57th overall in 2023 after what Baseball America called a “monstrous senior season” at William & Mary, Williamson rocketed up to Double-A in his first season in the Mariners season, and stayed on the fast track by picking up 295 plate appearances for Seattle in 2025, putting up a 90 wRC+ against left handed pitching and a 70 wRC+ against right before getting demoted in August.
