The Seattle Mariners say they’ve completed a “thorough internal review” into allegations of racism and gender discrimination made by former director of high performance Lorena Martin and determined her accusations were unfounded.
This is all according to an email from Mariners CEO John Stanton that was obtained by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal on Friday. Martin made public on Monday through her Instagram and Twitter accounts and later to The News Tribune her accusations against general manager Jerry Dipoto, manager Scott Servais and director of player development Andy McKay.
Major league baseball announced it had launched its own investigation in a statement on Tuesday, but Stanton wrote that he expects MLB’s findings will be the same as the Mariners’.
