Seattle Mariners Land New Pitcher Worth $67.6million today

The Seattle Mariners announced Friday that president of business operations Catie Griggs has resigned from her position.

Griggs is leaving for a new position closer to family on the east coast, according to a release from the team.

She will continue in her role until later this month.

Chairman John Stanton will take over Griggs’ position on an interim basis until a new president of business operations is hired.

I want to thank Catie for all her hard work and leadership over the past three years.

The Mariners grew as an organization and accomplished some great feats including our 2022 Playoff run, the 2023 All-Star Game and the NHL Winter Classic during her tenure,” Stanton said in a release.

“In talking with her as she grappled with this decision to return to the East Coast it was clear how much she valued the people that make our organization and team special.

But finding an opportunity for Catie and her husband, Justin, to be closer to their extended family was too important to pass up.

• “I know this was a difficult decision for Catie, and I appreciate her professionalism in working with me as she worked through this process.”
