The Seattle Mariners have fired back against Dr. Lorena Martin, who filed a lawsuit against her former employer in King County Superior Court last week and is seeking wrongful termination from her front-office position after accusing the club of racism and gender discrimination.
The Mariners’ team lawyers said trainers and others who reported to Martin complained to general manager Jerry Dipoto as early as March that Martin created a hostile work environment and had threatened to fire people if they spoke to Dipoto about “player medical or other issues.” They claim to have reports of Martin asking trainers for prescription medication to give to a player who had no prescription.
