Major League Baseball released a statement on Wednesday clearing the Seattle Mariners of any wrongdoing after completing an investigation into the firing of Lorena Martin, the team’s former director of high performance.
Martin who was fired in October, accused some in the Mariners organization of making derogatory and inappropriate comments. The Mariners denied these allegations and MLB announced they would look to investigate Martin’s claims.
The investigation was conducted by Epstein Becker Green, a law firm specializing in labor and employment matters. MLB said the firm’s lawyers interviewed 17 potential witnesses, including Martin.
