The Mariners announced today that President of Business Operations Catie Griggs has resigned from her role in order to pursue an opportunity closer to home and family. Griggs, who is from North Carolina, joined the Mariners in July of 2021, replacing disgraced former team president Kevin Mather after offensive comments he made during a Bellevue Rotary Club speaking event. Griggs represented a new direction for the club, and for baseball itself: at the time of her hiring, she was the sole woman in baseball to hold the title of “president” (she was joined in 2023 by the Marlins’ Caroline O’Connor, who now takes over the dubious distinction of the lone woman in baseball to hold this title).
