Mariners entire coaching staff to return in 2017

The Seattle Mariners announced Thursday that all six major-league coaches will return for the 2017 season, along with Scott Brosius, who's joining as an assistant.

Scott Servais will return as manager, while Manny Acta (third base coach), Tim Bogar (bench coach), Casey Candaele (first base coach), Mike Hampton (bullpen coach), Edgar Martinez (hitting coach), and Mel Stottlemyre (pitching coach) will retain their positions.

"Our coaches played a huge role in creating the culture, both on and off the field, that we enjoyed last season," Servais said in a press release. "I am pleased that all will return in 2017 as we continue to work toward our shared goal of winning a World Series in Seattle."

The Mariners finished second in the American League West with an 86-76 record, missing the postseason by three games.
