On Saturday night, Twitter users were alerted to the presence of a video of remarks made by Kevin Mather, President of the Seattle Mariners, at a Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club [BBRC], in a tweet from Eric Hess, @SeattleSunDvl:
Super interesting video here with Kevin Mather, says Kelenic was offered a 6 year deal plus option years worth "substantial money" and he turned the #Mariners down, instead "betting on himself" https://t.co/EbdBCB9qo4

Kevin Mather: I can only assume there are fans amongst the BBRC since every spring, either I or Jerry come over and answer questions, and the questions this group asks are of the highest quality.
