For similar reasons, free agent left fielder Ian Happ is also an unlikely fit in Seattle, per sources.

Suzuki and Arozarena both enter their age-32 season in 2027, and Suzuki was the much (much) better defender this year. General perception is Arozarena wants to be on the East Coast, and Mariners would love to reestablish a lost connection to Japan ...

Turns out, the Mariners' surprise hiring of Jason Kanzler was five years in the making. "He was by far the most impressive candidate when we talked to people about where development starts and stops." seattletimes.com/sports/mari…

Jason Kanzler said he was 'definitely in the loop' on the Mariners' hiring of new hitting coach CJ Gillman, someone Kanzler has admired from afar. (They have known each other for some time but Kanzler said a report that they're close friends isn't accurate.)

Kanzler: "I bring a unique set of skills and experiences. I am not a traditional path toward managing. I'm the right man because I believe that every player and every person can be better, and I think these players so deeply want to be better. I'm excited to get that out of them"

Anyone suggesting Scott Servais wasn't a successful manager for the Mariners simply hasn't been paying attention.
Replying to @A_Jude
Hey look the mariners have a High school teacher with zero MLB management experience.. it has worked so well in the past, Dan and Scott that the 54% mariners said perfect let’s try for a trifecta… pure brilliance

What do we know about Jason Kanzler? At 36, he becomes the youngest manager in M's history. Industry sources describe him as sharp and tactical, ad someone who looks for clear answers based on analytics.

Mariners make Kanzler hiring official. Jerry Dipoto: “Our goal in this process was finding a manager with the ability to challenge all of us to improve. Jason has the mindset, expertise, communication skills, and intensity to help create a championship standard here in Seattle.”
A new captain at the helm 🫡 Jason Kanzler is ready to lead the charge as our new manager. Welcome to Seattle! 🔗 atmlb.com/4BNfLRc

In Jerry Dipoto’s 11 years in charge of baseball operations, Kanzler is the Mariners' third managerial hire. Like Scott Servais and Dan Wilson before him, Kanzler has no previous experience as a manager.
