The Seattle Mariners have hired Tanner Swanson away from the New York Yankees, where he served as the director of catching. The move was reported Friday by SB Nation.
Swanson, who wore number 76 with the Yankees, was photographed at Yankee Stadium on August 11, 2026, prior to a game against the Mariners. His departure from New York marks a significant addition to Seattle's coaching staff.
The Mariners continue to build their player development infrastructure with Swanson's expertise in catching instruction and strategy.
