The Mariners cut ties with Jack Zduiencik back on August 28th, and they have been quietly working to fill the void ever since. The firing of Jack Z was years in the making, and the franchise is once again searching for a new head man in the front office.
Zduriencik’s tenure in Seattle was largely unproductive. He spent nine years in the Milwaukee Brewers front office prior to being hired by the Mariners in 2008. Z arrived in the Emerald City with a reputation for developing young talent. However, he was unable to duplicate the success he had drafting players in Milwaukee.
