Seattle Mariners president Kevin Mather apologized Sunday after comments he made to the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club on a number of topics drew widespread criticism.
"My comments were my own," Mather said. "They do not reflect the views and strategy of the Mariners baseball leadership who are responsible for decisions about the development and status of the players at all levels of the organization.
"I've been on the phone most of the day today apologizing to the many people I have insulted, hurt, or disappointed in speaking at a recent online event."
Lookout Landing's Grant Bronsdon and Kate Preusser shared a full transcript from Mather's appearance.
