I think the point is the Mariners didn’t announce it……..every organization does that…..,,he ended up breaking it to the reporters that he was fired.
it was after the last game of the season……its not like he could avoid the topic……they should have announced the firing like every other organization does……he still would have addressed the media but at least he wouldn’t be breaking the news.
When asked about it later The GM wouldn’t even confirm that he had been fired as opposed to resigned and dodged the question.
it was handled poorly…….you are the first person I’ve seen that doesn’t seem to have an issue with it.
