Dan Wilson will not return as manager of the Seattle Mariners next season, the 57-year-old confirmed to reporters on Sunday, closing out a tenure that included a trip to the American League Championship Series just a year earlier.
Wilson acknowledged that the campaign had not gone as hoped. "This season has been very difficult, and of course the results have not been what any of us had expected," he told reporters, reflecting on a year that fell short of the high bar set by the previous season's playoff run.
The Mariners reached the ALCS last year under Wilson's leadership, a high point that had raised expectations for the team heading into the current season. That the club will now search for a new manager marks a notable shift after the earlier postseason success.
No further details were immediately available regarding the timeline for a managerial search or who might be considered as Wilson's successor.
The move adds Seattle to the list of Major League Baseball teams making offseason changes to their coaching staff following the conclusion of the regular season.
