Mariners making sweeping changes to coaching staff following Dan Wilson’s ouster
Jerry Dipoto said the team will seek an experienced major league manager as Seattle tries to reset its culture after a 76-86 season.
- On Monday, the Seattle Mariners dismissed four coaches—Bench coach Manny Acta, first base coach Eric Young Jr., infield coach Perry Hill, and hitting coach Kevin Seitzer—one day after parting ways with manager Dan Wilson.
- The personnel overhaul follows a disappointing 76-86 finish where the Mariners offense ranked 27th in OPS, 28th in slugging, and 29th in batting average among Major League Baseball teams.
- President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto admitted the club "collectively underperformed," and he will direct an "exhaustive" search for the team's next manager.
- Seeking a "reset," Dipoto intends to hire an experienced manager from outside the organization, departing from his previous internal hirings of Scott Servais and Wilson.
- Looking toward 2027, the Mariners aim to return to postseason contention after missing the playoffs this year, with Dipoto emphasizing improved accountability to prevent repeating this season's failures.
