Microsoft executive Brad Smith and wife Kathy Surace-Smith have purchased a stake in the Seattle Mariners, becoming just the third additions to the team\'s ownership group since 1992.
They are the first additions to the ownership structure since Ken Griffey, Jr. joined in 2021.
\"Since this group formed in 1992, it has always been a priority to identify partners who both love baseball and are passionate about public service,\" Mariners chairman John Stanton said in a statement.
\"Adding Kathy and Brad to our partnership strengthens our commitment to the Mariners mission of winning championships, creating unforgettable experiences and serving our communities.\"
