Former Seattle Mariners catcher, team Hall of Famer and new team manager Dan Wilson spoke to the media before Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants.
One day after the organization fired nine-year manager Scott Servais, former catcher and team Hall of Famer Dan Wilson was officially introduced as the new skipper before Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants.
"These situations are never easy," Wilson said on Friday. "Always a lot of emotion around these kind of things. I have a tremendous amount of respect for what Scott has done here and the accomplishments he's had over his career with the Mariners. But really looking forward to what this team is in front of right now. Really excited for these last 34 games. ... This is going to be fun. I know these guys are ready to take it on. I'm excited with this opportunity.
But there's still some players in that Wilson hasn't been able to get to know in the 24 hours he's been manager. "We had some good coversations," Wilson said. "I know had some good conversations, as well, with some of the hitters already. I think there's a good feeling. Obviously an off day yesterday helped erase a little bit of that road trip and now we're back home. I think these guys are ready to go and it's going to be an exciting series.
