The discrimination lawsuit against the Mariners keeps getting more interesting:
SeattleTimes.com
In a detailed eight-page submission last month to the American Arbitration Association, team lawyers stated that unnamed Mariners employees had warned general manager Jerry Dipoto in March that Martin was ignoring medical advice on treating players and implementing her own treatments despite being unqualified to do so. The letter states that Martin also engaged “in medical and therapeutic practices without a license’’ and “misrepresented herself as a medical doctor to other MLB teams’ staff.’’
The team’s letter requesting private arbitration had been confidential and only became public Friday when Martin’s lawyer, Robin Phillips, filed a motion in King County Superior Court asking it to quash the Mariners’ attempt to have the case heard by an arbitrator. The weeks-old letter was included as an exhibit to the motion and offers the first detailed glimpse at what the team’s lawsuit defense might entail.
The Mariners are saying the firing is over poor and/or dishonest work. Martin is saying it’s discrimination. Martin and her lawyers seem very willing to air this in open court. This may wind up being the toughest hardball played in Seattle this season.
