Mariners hire Jason Kanzler as new manager ahead of 2027 season

The Seattle Mariners have reportedly hired Jason Kanzler as their new manager. An official announcement is expected later today, following the team's decision to part ways with Dan Wilson after the 2026 season, which ended on a disappointing note. Kanzler previously served as the Chicago Cubs' director of player development and will take on his first managerial role in professional baseball. At 36 years old, he will become the second-youngest manager in Major League Baseball, aiming to guide the franchise toward a more competitive future.
