For ease of access in tracking the timeline of the frankly shocking turn of events set into motion by disgraced former President and CEO of the Seattle Mariners, Kevin Mather, we’ve collected all our articles related to the topic here for your reference and viewing convenience. Everything begins with the video and the transcript of Mather’s address to the Bellevue Rotary Breakfast Club, which has by now sent shockwaves through both the Mariners organization and MLB writ large. Insulting references to players foreign and domestic! Calling beloved veterans overpaid and boring! Service time manipulations admissions sure to be bulletin board material for the MLB Players Association as well as Jarred Kelenic and Logan Gilbert in particular! So much whispering in people’s ears! Making the Mariners into a laughingstock for nothing to do with the win-loss record whatsoever! It’s all a disappointing but new twist on an old, bad feeling, and we’ve got every angle covered, including whether Chairman John Stanton and the M’s ownership and executive group has shown the capacity to handle the problems in their organization with any degree of seriousness or skill, as well as, hopefully, where we go from here.
