SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners have promoted Justin Hollander to general manager. The move makes official many of the duties Hollander has taken on with the ballclub after Jerry Dipoto was promoted to president of baseball operations. The 44-year-old Hollander has been with Seattle’s front office since the end of the 2016 season. He worked for the Los Angeles Angels prior to that and was a finalist for the Angels’ open general manager role following the 2020 season. Hollander said discussions about the promotion started a few weeks ago. The announcement capped a big week for Hollander that included a contract extension for Luis Castillo and the Mariners clinching a playoff berth.
