Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto on Thursday again strongly denied the allegations of racism and gender discrimination from a former member of his baseball operations staff.
It was part of his response to a question during the Mariners’ annual pre-spring training luncheon in front of media at T-Mobile Park. Seattle’s director of player development, Andy McKay, also responded for the first time publicly since Dr. Lorena Martin, the Mariners’ former director of high performance, leveled accusations on her social media, specifically against Dipoto, McKay and manager Scott Servais.
MLB began an investigation and that remains ongoing.
