Dan Wilson, a former player for the Seattle Mariners, has taken on a new role as the team's manager with just 34 games remaining in the regular season. Wilson, who spent 12 seasons as the Mariners' catcher, is now faced with the challenge of guiding the team as they strive to stay in playoff contention in the American League.
Wilson's managerial debut will be on Friday night as the Mariners face off against the San Francisco Giants. The decision to appoint Wilson as the new manager came after Scott Servais was relieved of his duties following a disappointing 1-8 road trip that saw the Mariners' record drop to 64-64 for the season. The team has struggled recently, winning only 20 of their last 53 games since holding a 10-game lead in the AL West back in mid-June.
