The Seattle Mariners announced the dismissal of assistant hitting coach Bobby Magallanes on July 23, 2026. This decision comes after a disappointing homestand, where the Mariners posted a 3-3 record against struggling teams. Magallanes joined the staff ahead of the 2025 season and contributed to the team's playoff run that year. Ed Paparella, previously the minor league hitting coordinator, has been promoted to fill the vacant role. The Mariners aim to improve their offensive performance, which ranks at or near the bottom of several key statistical categories.
- •Magallanes was part of the coaching staff since 2025.
- •The Mariners' offense has struggled significantly this season.
- •Ed Paparella has been promoted to assistant hitting coach.
- •Magallanes was popular among players for his clubhouse presence.
- •The Mariners will seek improved hitting strategies with Paparella.
