Mariners relieve manager Scott Servais of duties, hire Dan Wilson

Scott Servais’ tenure as manager of the Seattle Mariners is over just before the end of his ninth season with the team.

The Mariners announced Thursday afternoon that Servais has been relieved of his duties effective immediately, with former M’s catcher Dan Wilson hired as the team’s new permanent manager.

The news was first reported Thursday morning by Ken Rosenthal and Marc Carig of The Athletic.

In addition to the change at manager, the Mariners have let hitting coach Jarret DeHart go. Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto added in a conference call with reporters Thursday afternoon that Wilson would announce further coaching staff changes Friday before his first game as skipper.
