When the Major League Baseball All-Star Game rolls into Seattle next month, it doesn't seem likely that many homestanding Mariners will be playing in the game, but manager Scott Servais just might be there.

Per Larry Stone of the 'Seattle Times' on Twitter:

Dusty Baker has invited #Mariners manager Scott Servais to be a coach on his All-Star staff in Seattle.

Chalk this one up as a nice gesture by Baker. A longtime manager, Baker understands the moments in the game, and did a good thing by offering Servais a chance to coach in his home ballpark. Despite the fact that the Astros and Mariners are division rivals, Baker did a very noble thing.

Not for nothing, Servais has finished in the top three of Manager of the Year voting each of the last two years. While the Mariners are a disappointing 38-41 this season, he certainly does know how to coach.

He's in his eighth year with the Mariners and has an overall record of 566-545. He's led the Mariners through a lengthy rebuild and helped the M's make the playoffs in 2022.

The Astros won the World Series in 2022, beating the Phillies, which is what enables him to be the manager of the American League in the All-Star Game.

As for the Mariners, they'll be back in action on Friday when they host the Tampa Bay Rays. In desperate need of wins, the best team in baseball is not the team that Servais and Company want to see come to town.

The All-Star Game is Tuesday, July 11.
