From Staff and Wire Reports

Bill Plummer, the Seattle Mariners’ third base coach, replaced the fired Jim Lefebvre as manager Tuesday and agreed to a two-year deal worth about $300,000 per year.

Plummer, 44, is the Mariners’ 10th manager in 15 years. He has no major league managerial experience but managed seven years in the Mariners’ minor league system.

Lefebvre was fired by General Manager Woody Woodward after guiding the club to an 83-79 record--Seattle’s first winning season in 15 years.
