The Seattle Mariners, at 64-70 this season, seek a postseason spot as they trail the Houston Astros by three games. With the American League appearing weak, missing the playoffs again may put manager Dan Wilson's job at risk. Sports Illustrated's Karl Rasmussen suggests that firing Wilson would be a mistake, given that injuries and player struggles have contributed to the team's disappointing performance in 2026. Wilson led the Mariners to a notable 90-72 record last season, just shy of the World Series. Another season without postseason play could lead to significant changes for the team.
