The San Diego Padres offseason was dormant until the Seidler family provided more boardroom drama than an episode of HBO’s Succession. Major League Baseball owners unanimously approved John Seidler as the team’s control person during their meetings in Palm Beach, Florida. The vote’s outcome could temporarily derail Sheel Seidler’s lawsuit against her brothers-in-law (Matthew and Robert Seidler).
The late Padres owner Peter Seidler’s wife is trying to prevent the naming of John Seidler as the franchise’s new boss. She accuses the brothers of fiduciary breaches of trust, fraud, conversion, and egregious acts of self-dealing after Matthew Seidler was named executor of his late brother’s estate after his death.
