Seattle Mariners Fire Manager Scott Servais

Scott Servais was fired by the Seattle Mariners after nine seasons, becoming the second MLB manager to be dismissed this season. He learned of his firing through a news alert rather than from the team, a misstep that left executive vice president Jerry Dipoto feeling regretful. Under Servais’ leadership, the Mariners squandered a 10-game lead in the AL West, finishing with a 64-64 record after a disastrous stretch of 1-8 in their last road trip. Despite a playoff appearance in 2022, the team's recent poor offensive performance led to the decision for a change. Former player Dan Wilson has been appointed as his successor. The Mariners aim to reverse their fortunes as they remain in the hunt for a postseason berth.
