Source: Sinking Mariners fire manager Servais
Briefly

Mariners ownership opted against an increase in payroll the following offseason, prompting fears of a continued decline and ultimately contributing to the decision to fire Scott Servais.
Firing Scott Servais comes after the Mariners lost eight of nine games, showcasing an underperforming offense despite having a solid pitching rotation with a league-best ERA.
Scott Servais, who led the Mariners to end a 21-year playoff drought, faced the consequences of the team's struggles as they slipped back to .500.
The Mariners' offense, with a .666 OPS, struggled significantly this season, being lower than all but the worst-performing teams in the league.
