The Mariners haven’t yet formally announced their 2025 coaching staff, but according to a report from Daniel Kramer, they’re making a change with their hitting staff. Edgar Martínez will remain with the club in a role that sounds an awful lot like the role of hitting coordinator, overseeing the general strategies but not traveling with the club, something it appeared he was unwilling to do full-time after stepping in to help out the club in the interim after the shocking dismissal of Scott Servais and Jarret deHart (deHart has since accepted a position to be the Yankees’ director of hitting).
