As of yesterday, CEO & Chairman Howard Lincoln resigned from his post with the Mariners & Nintendo sold it's majority ownership in the Mariners to 1st Avenue Entertainment, who has control in ROOT Sports [the Seattle Mariners TV Network]. The team's new owner is John Stanton, who had minority ownership of the team since 2000 & had a stake in the NBA's Seattle SuperSonics until they left for Oklahoma City. The recent creation of the Seattle Mariners TV Network, ROOT Sports, became a huge money maker [woo-hoo!] for the franchise. The millions & millions the team will make over the next decade could help pay for good players in the off-season or at the July 31st Trading Deadline if we are in contention for the playoffs, something we haven't done since 2001. So this means that money, especially now with new ownership [T-Mobile], will not be an excuse, by anyone, not the front office, not the fans, ANYONE!
The Seattle Mariners are changing things up from a front office & an ownership standpoint.
Change has finally arrived. Go Mariners!!!!!
