SEATTLE New Mariners President Catie Griggs acknowledged her position in the sports landscape, and tried to temper immediate changes in the organization she will now lead. It s all about coming in and doing a good job regardless of who you are or what you look like. It s a privilege and one I take very seriously in terms of setting a standard for representation in terms of showing people they can do things, said Griggs in an interview with KING 5 shortly after her introduction.

The Situation
On Feb. 5, Mather was in a Zoom call with members of a rotary club. It was here that he made comments regarding international players’ English speaking skills. These insensitive comments were specifically targeted toward former Japanese pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma and Julio Rodriguez, a prospect from the Dominican Republic.
Additionally, Mather made statements regarding manipulating the service time of certain prospects in the Mariners’ organization. Mather stated that top prospect Jarred Kelenic was being held in the minor leagues in order to delay his free agency.
Mather officially resigned on Monday, soon after the comments were made public. Now, Dipoto is left to clean up the damage.
