Does anyone still think I should be holding Dipoto responsible and not the people above him?

What GM could honestly succeed in this kind of environment.

There's too much to unpack but my god this is just a completely tone deaf organization.

Not to mention taking shots at your two best prospects before they even make it to the show and two of your longest tenured guys who gave you all they could (Seagar, Iwakuma).

Iwakuma was grossly underpaid for what he provided and you are gonna bitch about paying his interpreter 75k?

What a joke.

Never did I ever think I'd want Chuck Armstrong over this guy.

I still blame DIPoto for the first 3 years, but this year is all about his bosses. They make all the previous owners and upper management look like geniuses.

yeah this offseason is also when I changed my stance and clearly I think its warranted

My hope is this is ultimately a positive. Its a good thing when terrible people get exposed for what they are and this organization needs these kind of moments if they are ever gonna go in the right direction.

To me this is it. If this doesn't create change, and I mean incredible change, then nothing will.

Guess I posted this in the wrong thread b4

Mathers is a real first class DICK HEAD!! No wonder the Mariners suck year after year and have a GM and Manager who suck. Sorry, but Mather's interview spoke volumes about what's wrong with things. What a f'n douche!!

No I kind of spread the post around nt knowing at the time there was more than just the Kelenic crap. As I scrolled on twitter I found more Mathis garbage. Such a scum.

I know I am in the minority and will probably get attacked but I don't have a problem with half the things he said or did. I watched the entire 45 minute private interview that was leaked. What he said about Iwakuma was wrong like dude you really worried about 75k for an interpreter? If we had a potential to land a superstar from Japan or Korea and they cant speak English you ass better go pay whatever or whomever to an interpreter to make them more comfortable to sign and play for us.

The Julio Rodriguez thing to me was a little over blown during the interview he talked about what a great personality he was and that he was a good kid its just his needs to work on his English. I am all for being politically correct but my god a little criticism isn't that serious his English could use some work. Now the old rumors of saying Hispanic players are lazy and not good clubhouse players along with the lawsuit filed by Lorena Martin who serious problems.

Lastly, again I am in the minority but I have no problems with service time manipulation which is something that is done by all teams not just the Mariners. Lets be honest the reason why Kelenic wants to go to the majors is so that he can start chopping away at the service time so he can test free agency to go after a 400 million dollar contract at 27 and leave the organization as opposed to 30 like Kris Bryant. Great for him but doesn't really help the Mariners assuming both Julio and Kelenic are great talents we probably cant afford to pay both of them so one will be on their way out. It doesn't benefit the Mariners to rush Kelenic up and wait for Julio 2 years later and probably only have a good 3 years of both of them at the majors before Kelenic bolts for free agency. From the point of view of a player and his family I would be pissed but as a Mariner fan I would chose the later in keeping him in the minors.
