Missed an opportunity to promote from within,’ another Mariners fan said.‘Negron or Vogt would be great,’ said another.Vogt was previously the bullpen and quality control coach in Seattle before he left the Mariners in 2023 to take the managerial role in Cleveland.One optimistic fan replied: ‘Hopefully it’s Vogt’.‘I vote for Vogt… Familiar with the organisation and just got out of the game a couple years back so he can relate well with the players,’ another fan pleaded.Read more:‘Classless…’ MLB fans furious after Seattle Mariners force Dan Wilson to announce his own firingJoey Votto explains exactly why the Boston Red Sox will beat the New York Yankees in MLB playoffsShohei Ohtani has always been a bigger international star than LeBron James, says ex-Super Bowl champion
