More than 24 hours after Kevin Mather’s near hour-long tirade that managed to insult virtually every member of the Mariners organization from game day staff to fans, Mather has resigned his position as team president:
Much like Mather’s initial bizarre, Scarface-like barrage of insults directed at nearly everyone associated in any capacity with the team, there is Much To Unpack here in majority owner (and now acting president) John Stanton’s statement. I was nervous when the team allowed Mather to release a statement through official media channels that there was image rehabilitation at play, pointing to him keeping his job, and curious about how Mather, as a minority owner of the team, would (or could) be divested from not only his position but his ownership in the club.
