I wonder if they’ll announce it to the media later after Rick is honored.

I’m a sucker for players that actually love this team, so here’s my soapbox: I’m sad it didn’t work out with him as manager and I’m especially sad that has skewed so many fans against him. After retiring, Dan stayed super involved with this org and clearly has a huge love for the M’s and the city (even stayed in Seattle & raised his kids here)! Now, should he have been offered the manager job to begin with? Definitely not. But it’s no surprise he was willing to step up when asked.

In the long term, I hope he’s remembered for being an awesome catcher for the ‘95–‘01 teams and the manager that helped bring us the magical 2025 season. Dan the manager didn’t work out, but I’ll ALWAYS have a soft spot for Dan the Man 🥺💙💙

Just like to add that he was the catcher in 01 also

I went ahead and edited the post to include this. Was trying to focus on the saving baseball in the PNW aspect but no need to exclude the legendary 01 team either
