Dan Wilson Out as Manager of the Seattle Mariners After Disappointing Season
The team plans broader coaching and front-office changes after a season-long collapse and a leadership void around catcher Cal Raleigh.
- On Sunday, Mariners manager Dan Wilson informed players and staff he will not return in 2027, ending his tenure before Game 162 following a disappointing 2026 campaign.
- Wilson, a first-time manager, replaced Scott Servais in August 2024, leading the team to a 2025 division title, but the 2026 season collapsed to 75-86 despite high expectations.
- A leadership void emerged this year as veteran players struggled; catcher Cal Raleigh noted the team kept "waiting" for change instead of someone stepping forward and instigating change.
- Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto is expected to return for a 12th season and will lead the search for his third manager in four years, with a news conference Monday.
- The Mariners must now secure a manager with clear authority and vision to challenge the front office, rather than simply replicating the existing structure if the organization aims to improve.
