The Seattle Mariners have named Scott Servais their manager.

Servais, an assistant general manager with the Los Angeles Angels, will be introduced on Monday.

"I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to manage the Seattle Mariners," Servais told MLB.com. "It has long been my goal to manage a big league team and while I took a slightly different path than many, I am confident in my ability to lead.

"We have a terrific core of players and I'm looking forward to bringing in a coaching staff that will help me establish a winning culture here as we work toward putting a championship-caliber team on the field for the fans of the Northwest."
