Diamondbacks might as well be telling Mariners to hire Torey Lovullo

Sodo Mojo argues that the Seattle Mariners should pursue Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo following recent comments from Diamondbacks president and CEO Derrick Hall. With Lovullo's contract expiring at the end of the season, Hall stated on KTAR News that the manager would get a new job in a heartbeat if he departs. Taylor suggests this creates an ideal opportunity for Seattle as they search for a replacement for Dan Wilson.

However, Taylor questions whether Mariners executive Jerry Dipoto is truly willing to hire an experienced manager and surrender organizational control. Additional hurdles highlighted include financial commitments, with Lovullo earning close to $5 million annually compared to the Mariners' typical manager salary of just over $1 million, alongside reports from Jeff Passan indicating Seattle may still consider first-time managers.
