the Mariners have announced staffing changes

MARINERS ANNOUNCE STAFF CHANGES

SEATTLE – Seattle Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto and General Manager Justin Hollander announced today that Bench Coach Manny Acta, Infield Coach Perry Hill, Hitting Coach Kevin Seitzer, and First Base Coach Eric Young Jr. will not return to the Mariners coaching staff in 2027.

“I will always have the utmost respect and appreciation for these men, each of whom made meaningful contributions to our team,” Dipoto said. “After much reflection, we have determined that significant changes are required as we look toward 2027 and beyond.”

funniest possible outcomes: Padres-White Sox (Catholicism match up) Brewers-White Sox (there's an angel/devil joke in here somewhere) Cubs-Guardians (opening up the hot tub time machine to 2016 and undoing its crimes)

y'all I cannot stress enough: the owners care more about revenue than winning. this is a fact at this point. disagreeing with facts is pointless. also comparing two different sports where one has a cap and floor system and the other does not isn't an equal comp. different parameters

nah man I think you very well did say who you think was right you geezer (derogatory) (I wasted time reading this so you don't have to click on it)

Baseballgeezer
Old school baseball analyst. Grew up with the game, and now the game is all a corporate exercise with out of control unions and salaries.

The Baseball Geezer isn’t going to tell you whether the owners are right, and I’m not going to tell you whether the players are right. That is for them to figure out. But I will tell you that they are playing with an extraordinarily valuable piece of property: baseball itself. The value of that property isn’t just $13 billion in annual revenue. It is 71 million people walking into ballparks, billions of minutes watched on television and streaming services, restaurants packed around stadiums, kids buying their first baseball glove, fathers taking sons to games, mothers taking daughters, grandparents introducing another generation to the game and the guy sitting in the same seat he’s had for 25 years complaining about the manager.

official: Dan Wilson not returning as Mariners manager in 2027

SEATTLE MARINERS MANAGER DAN WILSON WILL NOT RETURN IN 2027

SEATTLE, Wash. – Seattle Mariners President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto announced today that following conversations this week it was concluded that Dan Wilson will not return as Field Manager in 2027.

“Collectively we failed to meet our own expectations this season,” Dipoto said. “Dan and I both care deeply about this organization, these players, and the future of the Mariners. After much discussion it was concluded that a new direction is best for 2027 and beyond.

“I want to thank Dan for his efforts over the past two years and specifically recognize his role in our club advancing to Game 7 of the ALCS in 2025.”

“I’ve appreciated the opportunity to lead this team the past two years,” Wilson said. “While this season has not gone the way any of us expected, I’m proud that the players in the clubhouse showed up each day to try and compete and battle in each game they played. I’m confident that the 2026 season doesn’t accurately reflect the talent, passion and desire of our players and know that bright things are ahead for this group.”

Max Scherzer going on short rest to catch Verlander's strikeout total -- and nearly damn well doing it -- is some all time inner circle king petty shit, and I mean that in the most complimentary way imaginable. You gotta tip your cap to a true psycho, and Max Scherzer is an all-time baseball psycho.

it would've been better (funnier) if the entire division had a losing record to end the season but no the A's exist

I have emailed Jesse Cole, founder and owner of Banana Ball, and Banana Ball media relations regarding the decision to invite Josh Hamilton to make an appearance. let's see if I get a statement!

the thing about hitting seven years sober the other day is that the money I don't spend on alcohol goes to concerts instead and that feels like a better use of that money anyway I'm going to see Oasis next year

some really good info in this story

MLB’s owners are virtually certain to lock out the players in early December, when the sport’s current labor deal expires. No one knows whether a shutdown will shorten the sport’s 162-game regular season, but if it does, 60 games — roughly the end of May, by the current MLB schedule — will bring perhaps the most crucial leverage point.

If at least 60 games are wiped out in 2027, most of the league’s national broadcast contracts would extend another year, through 2029, people briefed on MLB’s rights agreements who were not authorized to speak publicly told The Athletic.

what they actually won't say is that those teenage girls (and like all teenage girls in general) will get belittled and condescended to by men until those men think it's Cool to like things
