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.
