Mariners Bounce Bavasi

On Monday, the Seattle Mariners fired General Manager Bill Bavasi. Concerning his rationale, CEO Howard Lincoln was blunt. “Clearly the high expectations we had for the team going into the season have fallen by the wayside,” Lincoln said. “It's clear that we need a new leadership, a new direction, a fresh approach. We're going to make whatever changes necessary to get this thing turned around as quick as possible and nothing is off the table.”

Since Lou Pinella’s exodus, the Mariners have collapsed. They have accrued a 415-464 record. Hopefully, Lee Pelekoudas can resurrect them.
