According to the Padres property group San Diego Union-Tribune. The situation was a little in the air since the death of Peter Seidler in November 2023.
Since the death of Peter, the owner of the Eric Kutsenda minority has been temporarily the witness while Robert and Matthew Seidler – also Brothers of Peter – were administrators of Peter’s Trust. Matt Seidler has long been said that Matt wanted to make the padres work.
In general, Mlb Dictates that the owner with the largest participation in the team is the witness person, and this person is generally called “owner of” this team. In the case of the Padres, Peter Seidler’s trust holds 24% of the padres and it is the highest participation.
Recently, the widow of Peter Seidler, Sheel Seidler, filed a complaint against Robert and Matthew Seidler In an effort to take control of the paadres.
In a declaration at CBS Sports in January, the Peter Seidler Trust said the following:
“The complaint filed by Sheel Seidler, the widow of Peter Seidler, is entirely without merit. Peter had a clear succession plan. The plan specifically appointed three of his nine brothers and sisters, with whom he had worked in close collaboration during Numerous decades, as successors of fiduciaries successors of successors his confidence and Peter himself prohibited Sheel from serving as a fiduciary. An appointment person.
The fallout from Peter Seidler’s death continue. He had become one of the most loved owners in baseball, and his free expenses placed the paadres among the main destinations for free agents. They have made the playoffs three of the last five years, the only time in the history of the franchise, such a race has occurred.
After the death of Peter Seidler, the payroll was considerably reduced compared to last season, while the paadres entered 2024 by ranking 14th in mass of pay after the third classification in 2023. It was a question of A decrease of approximately $ 84 million. As things represent 2025, the Padres have an increase in pay above $ 200 million – due to almost entirely increases by players already written – and seated ninth in MLB. But they did not make any major additions while they lost the left-hand player Jurickson PROFAR, the Ha-Seong Kim short stop and the Tanner Scott lift, among others, to the free agency and they are also supposed to try to exchange Ace Dylan stops.
Ideally, John’s approval seidler by the rest of the owners of the MLB can help ensure a certain stability in the franchise and the league itself seems to have confidence in the paadres which remain viable in San Diego.
“My understanding is that the family wants to keep the team,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said (via athletics). “There was not a single word or a single whisper of relocation in the context of the Padres de San Diego.”
