One day after being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Seattle Mariners are planning to make a major staffing change. The team is reportedly firing longtime manager Scott Servais, according to the Athletic.
Servais, who has managed the Mariners since 2016, broke the team's postseason drought in 2022, but has been unable to reverse the tide on another mediocre season and a disastrous mid-season slump. The Mariners, who at one point held a 10-game division lead, have since fallen to five games back from the Astros in the AL West.
Per The Athletic, Servais will be replaced by former Mariners All-Star catcher Dan Wilson.
