Mariners recently shook up its ownership with Nintendo dropping out as majority owner. Went from around 55% to now around 10% with the other owners to split the 45% gained. Being estimated Nintendo gets over $600 million from the sale.

Also seems like the reason for the change wasn't because of team or money issues but Nintendo feeling they fulfilled their commitment when it came to keeping the team in Seattle during the early 90s.
