By now, many of you will have heard the short, strange, sad saga of Mariners Club President Kevin Mather. If you haven’t, our Mariners-focused sister site, Lookout Landing, has covered the topicprettyextensively. The short version is that Mather said out loud the quiet part that many avid fans of baseball have noted for a long time. He talked about service time manipulation for top prospects. He complained about non-white players indiscriminately. He chortled at the misfortune of free agents who are just trying to find jobs this off-season while more or less admitting that despite their complaints to the contrary, the Mariners were in perfectly good financial standing following the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
