Kevin Mather, the disgraced former team president who now has much more time to hang out with suburban social clubs, is no longer employed by the Seattle Mariners. The team released a statement* on Monday, over 24 hours after his conversation with the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary became public, announcing that Mather had “resigned his position effective immediately”.
*It is not lost on me that the Mariners did not include any text in the body of this tweet, meaning it will be very difficult to search for in the future
Mather’s resignation is undoubtedly a net positive.
