Sheel & the kids own 24%.
The Seidler Bros. are slime. The Padres belong to Sheel Seidler and Peter’s kids.

Peter's widow sued because she was not put in charge; but MLB said she wasn't qualified to run a baseball team. The other stakeholders don't have the cash on hand to buy the widow out, and she doesn't have the money to buy them out. Hence the team has to be sold to settle to case.
The anniversary of Peter Seidler's death is tomorrow. What a disgrace these brothers are. Peter said he intended for the Padres to be owned by his family "for generations."

Also - for the brothers to be at the street dedication ceremony last week as if all is well? smh

Absolutely not. Peter's widow sued because she was not put in charge; but MLB said she wasn't qualified to run a baseball team. The other stakeholders don't have the cash on hand to buy the widow out, and she doesn't have the money to buy them out. Hence the team has to be sold to settle to case.
Seidler family looking to sell the Padres, almost two years to the day after Peter Seidler’s death. (Tomorrow is the anniversary)

Is there any way to see this other than confirmation that Peter’s brothers didn’t share his love for the city and team, and only were ever really in it for the money?

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document—

"I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

Peter's widow sued the other owners because she was not given control over the team; MLB felt she was not qualified to run a baseball team. The other stakeholders don't have the money to buy her out, and she doesn't have the money to buy them out, so the team has to be sold to settle this lawsuit.
It is very sad that Peter is gone and his surviving family members are unwilling or unable to go to the lengths he did trying to win a championship.

Also, without a cap in place, the Padres need someone(s) with a lot more fuck-you money than the Seidlers to have a real shot every year.

Shocking news from San Diego Padres owners: "... the family has decided to begin a process of evaluating our future with the Padres, including a potential sale of the franchise. We will ... [lay] the foundation for the franchise’s long-term success."

The newly-released documents show communication between Jeffrey Epstein and numerous high profile individuals, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, former White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, and former White House senior counselor Steve Bannon.

So-called "journalist" Michael Wolff privately advised sicko pervert Jeffrey Epstein on how to exploit his relationship with Trump during the 2016 campaign, per newly released emails. Wolff is such a slimeball for not exposing this pedo ring long before the 2016 election.

Not the most important point but today's Epstein emails make it clear that Maxwell committed gross perjury in her interview with Todd Blanche, and it will still be within the statute of limitations when President (insert your favorite Dem) takes office in January 2029

THE EPSTEIN LATEST: a question for DOJ DAG Todd Blanche: did he know about the Epstein-Maxwell exchanges before his Maxwell interview? (The FBI had gone through the files after all.) And if not, why not? And is she going to enjoy the spoils of a prison "camp" and other benefits, after all this?

Glad the San Diego Padres shot down the ridiculous rumors that Fernando Tatis Jr. was on the trading block. He is a bargain based on his contract and the unreal numbers he puts up, topped by that Platinum Glove. Go Friars!

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Oh, that freak, Peter Thiel, having fun with Jeffrey Epstein. Peter Thiel, the guy collecting data on every American for nefarious purposes. Peter Thiel, the immigrant billionaire who can’t hoard enough wealth and tax breaks. A real creep, too.

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

She did not respond.
