Fewer than three months after being promoted to a position as Mariners assistant player personnel director, the team says Leslie Manning resigned of her own accord. Manning had been the team's top-ranking woman in its baseball operations department prior to her departure.
Mariners assistant player personnel director Leslie Manning has resigned from the squad fewer than three months after being promoted to that position.
Manning, 29, had been the highest-ranking female member of the team’s baseball operations department before resigning Jan. 16. The Mariners say the decision to leave was Manning’s and that because of that, they are limited in what they can say.
