Starbucks is giving its new CEO a huge pay package and not making him move to Seattle
Starbucks’ incoming CEO could make well in excess of $100 million in his first year with the company under an incentive-laden contract, and he will not be required to relocate from his home in California to Seattle, the home of the global coffee giant. Starbucks announced on Tuesday that Brian Niccol would become its chairman and CEO, taking over from Laxman Narasimhan, who stepped down abruptly after spending a little more than a year as the company’s top executive. Niccol will become Starbucks’ chairman and CEO on Sept. 9. Niccol is among the mostly highly sought after corporate executives after establishing a track record of success in turning around companies that have hit a rough patch, including Taco Bell and, most recently, Chipotle. Niccol took the top job at the California chain in 2018 when Chipotle was being roiled by a series of foodborne illness outbreaks that had sickened more than 1,000 of its customers over several years.

Mariners end relief reclamation project with latest release
The Mariners moved a lot of pieces around in the offseason. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone to hear me say that, as they are constantly one of the most active teams in baseball. Part of that is Dipoto and Hollander just being active in general, but part of that is them being forced into action with a limited budget. We saw a lot of bullpen pieces move around, with some instantly slotting into the MLB discussion, and others just entering into the reclamation process down the road.
