Scott Servais has emerged as the latest candidate in the Orioles’ ongoing managerial search. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Baltimore has shown interest in the former Mariners manager, though it remains unclear whether Servais has formally interviewed for the position.
Just a day earlier, reports indicated that the Twins were also considering Servais for their vacant managerial role. Both Minnesota and Baltimore are among eight major league teams still without a manager for the 2026 season, suggesting Servais could be in the mix for other openings as well—though that list may soon shrink if the Giants finalize an agreement with leading candidate Tony Vitello.
Within Baltimore’s known group of candidates are interim skipper Tony Mansolino, former Mets manager Luis Rojas, and legendary slugger Albert Pujols. Cubs bench coach and ex-Oriole Ryan Flaherty has also been loosely linked to the position. Together, the pool features three experienced managers, a respected coach often mentioned as a “future skipper,” and a Hall of Fame-bound player who has yet to manage or coach at the professional level.
Servais stands out as the most experienced of the bunch. He managed the Seattle Mariners for parts of nine seasons (2016–2024), guiding the team to five winning campaigns and compiling a 680–642 career record.
Despite steady success, Seattle reached the postseason only once under his leadership—in 2022—and the organization dismissed him in August 2024 when the club held a 64–64 record. Since his departure, the Mariners have flourished under new manager Dan Wilson, posting a 111–85 mark, winning the AL West, and advancing to Game 7 of the ALCS.
