Los Marineros Contratan a Jason Kanzler Como Mánager
Justin Hollander said the 36-year-old could guide Seattle back to the postseason after injuries and slumps helped derail a 76-86 season.
On Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, the Seattle Mariners hired 36-year-old Jason Kanzler as manager, replacing Dan Wilson after a disappointing 76-86 season that began with World Series aspirations.
Despite entering 2026 with World Series aspirations, the club finished 76-86 due to injuries and regression among key offensive stars and the bullpen.
Previously the Chicago Cubs' director of player development since 2024, Kanzler becomes the second-youngest manager in Major League Baseball at 36 years old.
General Manager Justin Hollander stated Kanzler "consistently demonstrated elite leadership skills," signaling the organization's goal to establish a "championship standard" in Seattle.
Kanzler will lead a roster featuring stars Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez, tasked with unlocking the team's "full potential" after 2026's offensive struggles.
