Exit Velo #71: Mariners CEO Resigns; Top 10 1B

Back Sports Page presents a new episode of the Exit Velo podcast with your host Adam Cohen and Henry Winkelhake.

Adam Cohen and Henry Winkelhake discuss the shocking statements made by former Mariners CEO/President Kevin Mather. His words were insensitive towards foreign-born players Julio Rodriguez and Hisashi Iwakuma as well as Top 100 prospect Jarred Kelenic. Afterward, the crew wraps up the weekly transactions. There were not too many signings this past week since Spring Training begins on February 28th, but a few relievers inked Major League deals. To cap off the show, the team dives into their Top 10 first basemen lists. There is a clear favorite for the best first baseman in the game, but the rest of the picks are very different.
