SEATTLE—The Seattle Mariners fired Manager Scott Servais on Thursday with the team in the midst a two-month collapse that included squandering a 10-game lead in the American League West and slipping to the fringes of playoff contention.
The team tabbed former Seattle catcher Dan Wilson to take over for Servais, who was the second manager in baseball let go this season, following Pedro Grifol with the Chicago White Sox. Wilson is the manager moving forward, not an interim replacement for the rest of the season.
