I think what's needed is a team President or CEO that sits above Jerry DiPoto and Kevin Martinez. Right now, that's what John Stanton does, presumably on a part-time basis. But it really needs to be a full time role.
That's what dipoto is, he's president of baseball operations. Adding more bureaucracy isn't going to mean better decisions. Stanton is the managing owner. I don't think it's on a part-time basis.

This teams structure is and never will be to Do Whatever it takes to Win


This team makes a really good profit and it gains value. Everything Stanton could ask for

The only way this team breaks out of that is to sell to a group that wants to win enough to risk it. Go all in

Stanton has the money but lacks the killer instinct

Sell the team John

If they hire a "player's coach" again I'm going to lose it.

Give me a Pat Murphy or Stephen Vogt type please.

Dan Wilson is already out in Seattle and Torey Lovullo already may be the leading candidate to replace him,” Nightengale wrote on X, formerly Twitter
Lovullo would naturally be a candidate. I don't believe Nightingale has any actual Intel. I think he's just making that assumption

I suppose Lovullo would be fine.

He's done a lot with some pretty mediocre talent/pitching staffs in a very difficult division.

Although I'm not sure what can really be said about him considering what happened over the last couple years with Marte. Didn't really wrangle him in.

He's a veteran manager, enough of the rookies

I don't have a whole lot of confidence in the hiring process.
Not with Dipoto running the show. Only yes men will be considered.
Boob Nightengale says Torey Lovullo is the front runner...

The ownership group needs to grow a pair and fire everyone including Jerry and spend a little bit more.

Post season makes money and brings more money the following season but attendance will regress next year unless they make big changes. It’s not all hotdogs from heaven.
This season had the highest attendance since 2004 so they don't think they need to do anything other than fire Dopey Dan....

This is what the Mariners need, a little old-school accountability damn it
