Scott Brosius Won’t Return To Mariners’ Coaching Staff; Perry Hill Likely To Be Hired

By Steve Adams | November 13, 2018 at 8:59pm CDT

Mariners third base coach Scott Brosius won’t be returning to the organization in 2019, reports Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. The organization had hoped to renew Brosius’ contract and had formally invited him back, per the report, but Brosius decided weeks ago that he’d be pursuing other opportunities, it seems.

The departure of Brosius comes in the wake of the Mariners’ dismissal of pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr. and the resignation of hitting coach Edgar Martinez, who passed up an opportunity to return in order to spend more time with his family moving forward. Martinez asked that the Mariners work with him to find a new role, which prompted the creation of an “organizational hitting advisor” position; he’ll remain with the organization in that capacity next season.

It seems, though, that the Mariners are also close to announcing a veteran addition to their staff, as MLB.com’s Greg Johns points out that former Marlins first base/infield coach Perry Hill recently changed his Twitter bio to include “Seattle Mariners-Infield Coach.” Beyond that, Johns noted that second baseman Dee Gordon, who knows Hill well from the pair’s time with Miami, posted an Instagram photo celebrating Hill’s hiring today. Hill was let go by Miami earlier this offseason amid a wide swath of coaching changes.

It’s not clear what other duties Hill would have with the Mariners — he could step in as the third base coach or perhaps push incumbent first base coach Chris Prieto to another role on the staff — but he’ll bring considerable experience to the table. The highly respected 66-year-old has a dozen years of experience in the Marlins organization in addition to numerous coaching roles with the Pirates, Expos, Tigers and Rangers dating back to the 1993 season. Johns notes that the staff is expected to be finalized this week.

    I am just glad Edgar Martinez is still with the organization, be it “organizational hitting advisor” or “special advisor”

    Next stop… Hall of Fame!! Greatest DH of all time.

    Done with absolutely NO STEROIDS!!

      There’s no way anybody can know for sure. I personally don’t think he did, but it’s possible he did. MLB was pretty corrupt back then.

          I bet Papis name is on that list they never fully released. Right next to Manny.

          I don’t know about the steroid thing, we just don’t know and allot of substances were legal back then, but I agree Martinez is the best ever DH and belongs in the HOF. As for Ortiz I would put Reggie and the Big Hurt ahead of him.

          “we just don’t know and allot of substances were legal back then” that’s a misconception. Steroids, HGH etc were banned by Fay Vincent in June 1991 but the MLBPA chose to ignore it and refused to allow testing until Congress forced the issue. Any players who used knew they were in the wrong.

          By a lot of substances they mean other than steroids.

          Actually this may clear it up mlbtraderumors.com/2006/03/steroids-were-b.html
          Or this ……”The possession, sale or use of any illegal drug or controlled substance by Major League players and personnel is strictly prohibited. Major League players or personnel involved in the possession, sale or use of any illegal drug or controlled substance are subject to discipline by the Commissioner and risk permanent expulsion from the game…”
          “This prohibition applies to all illegal drugs and controlled substances, including steroids or prescription drugs for which the individual in possession of the drug does not have a prescription.”

      Heard they’re looking for a director of high performance. That’s code for something.

      Really, so Griffey JR., Edgar, A Rod, Buhler, and others set the team records year after year for HR’s and all were clean? Again, really? Yankees this past season set a new record with a juiced ball, Dodgers set a team record with a juiced ball, and steroids were used in Seattle from the early 1990’s up until now. And I ask, how many Championships? One. It is a corrupt organization period.

      How do we know that no steroids? Big Papi was the greatest DH of all time. I am absolutely no Red Sox dan and they were both yankee killers. David Ortiz gets a “pass” because of the steroid issue. He’s a fan favorite and the writers love him. Hence he will be in the Hall quicker than Edgar

    It’s crazy how the M’s have gone through dozens of base/bench/pitching/hitting coaches over the past few years, yet Servais remains and the team continues to underachieve.

      Not Servais’ fault, after all they over achieved in ’18. And he has been there only 2 seasons. Without the King last year, w/o their 2b and still they were in the hunt. And now with no minor league system to fall back on will make it tougher.

        3 years actually, and he has mismanaged us out of countless games. Every team has injuries and with no minor league system and all veterans, his decision making and management are even more crucial. He has wasted the M’s window for success, time to tear it down and get rid of dis Servais.

          I think this team is tailor made for an old school manager. Get rid of Servais and bring in Girardi or Baker. Then watch them get to the playoffs for a couple of years. They only need to make the playoffs and then it’s basically a crapshoot who wins it all.
