Jul In a surprising and exclusive feature, the Seattle Mariners Tickets Exchange platform has released a candid interview with former Mariners head coach Scott Servais, offering fans a rare inside look into his tenure with the team and his views on the current state of Major League Baseball.
Servais, who led the Mariners from 2016 until his departure after the 2024 season, spoke openly about his time in Seattle, the challenges of building a playoff-contending roster, and his perspective on the team’s future.
“Seattle will always be home to me,” said Servais in the interview. “We built something special, even if we didn’t always reach the peak we were aiming for. The fans, the energy, the comeback wins—it’s something I’ll never forget.”
Key Highlights from the Interview:
- Reflections on the 2022 Playoff Run: Servais revisited the Mariners’ electric return to the postseason in 2022, ending a 21-year drought. “That team had grit. It was a turning point,” he said.
- Thoughts on Julio Rodríguez: He praised the star outfielder’s leadership and talent: “Julio’s the kind of player who changes a franchise. He’s got the talent, but he’s also got the heart.”
- Reaction to His Departure: While Servais remained professional, he hinted at philosophical differences with upper management. “Sometimes change is necessary. I respect the organization’s decision, but I’ll always feel connected.”
- Ticket Exchange Partnership: This marks the first time the Mariners Tickets Exchange has hosted a high-profile interview. The platform, primarily used for buying and selling game tickets, has recently expanded into content creation and fan engagements leadersh
