Seattle Mariners president and CEO Kevin Mather resigned Monday, one day after apologizing for his recent eye-raising remarks about current and former players, including their ability to speak English.
Mather's departure was announced by the team along with a statement from Mariners chairman and managing partner John Stanton.
"Like all of you, I was extremely disappointed when I learned of Kevin Mather's recent comments. His comments were inappropriate and do not represent our organization's feelings about our players, staff, and fans. There is no excuse for what was said, and I won't try to make one," Stanton said in the statement.
