CHICAGO — Baseball got through many a major doping scandal in the early part of the 21st century. Now it hopes to get through its latest self-made crisis: a proliferation of dopes in positions of power. One of the brainiacs already is gone — Seattle Mariners President/CEO Kevin Mather resigned in disgrace after bragging to a Breakfast Rotary Club about screwing players out of their service ...
In the meeting we had with Justin Dunn at the end of the season, we were very truthful,” manager Scott Servais said. With likely free agent signings, he was told his spot in the Mariners’ six-man rotation wasn’t guaranteed. But Dunn didn’t need to hear truthful criticism from Servais or pitching coach Pete Woodworth or general manager Jerry Dipoto, he’d already administered his own honest self-examination of a rookie season that left plenty to be desired.
Seattle has not appeared in the playoffs since 2001, and the team president was boasting about keeping two top prospects off the opening day roster in 2021 so the Mariners could keep their contracts under team control through 2027, instead of 2026. Seattle Mariners team president Kevin Mather speaks at a news conference in 2015. Mather resigned this week after making controversial statements in a recent speech.
