📍 How it ended

Dan Wilson left his role as Mariners manager after the 2025‑26 season, and the organization announced sweeping coaching staff changes, with four coaches—including bench coach Acta and hitting coach Seitzer—not returning for 2027. The departures were described as emotional and a response to the missed playoffs, and the Mariners said significant changes were required, but no replacement was identified in the coverage.

Initial reporting surfaced from The New York Times, which cited a source stating that the club decided to fire Wilson following an underwhelming season. Subsequent accounts immediately revealed a contradiction regarding how the exit unfolded.

While MLB.com and MLB Trade Rumors noted that Wilson will not return for the 2027 campaign, Yahoo Sports reported that Wilson personally informed the franchise he would not be back, conflicting with accounts of an outright firing.
