SEATTLE -- An investigation by Major League Baseball into allegations of racism and sexism against the Mariners by former director of high performance Dr. Lorena Martin uncovered "no credible evidence" to support those charges, according to a statement released Wednesday by MLB.
Martin, who was dismissed in October after one season in the newly created position that oversaw all aspects of physical and mental training, has filed a lawsuit charging wrongful termination and breach of contract.
Martin went on social media after being placed on leave by the Mariners following the season and accused general manager Jerry Dipoto, manager Scott Servais and director of player personnel Andy McKay of a series of racist and sexist remarks, which led MLB to investigate.
