An hour after Kevin Mather’s resignation from the Mariners was officially announced, John Stanton gave a press conference to address questions from the media regarding Mather, the Mariners’ organizational culture, and what this means for the club going forward. Many felt dissatisfied with both the content and tone of Stanton’s answers, many of which shifted the fallout for Mather’s actions onto other members of the club (Jerry Dipoto, Scott Servais...Yusei Kikuchi?) and some of which seemed to blatantly deny both Mather’s role in shaping organizational culture and the experiences of fans (and players, and employees, and so on) who feel hurt or betrayed by the organization.
