In case you missed it today, John Seidler has officially taken over as Padres chairman. Eric Kutsenda, who served as the team’s interim chairman after Peter Seidler’s death, is now a Special Advisor to the Chairman, according to the Padres front office directory.

In Seidler’s first comments since taking over, he made a comment some Padres fans aren’t liking: “When the crowd started chanting ‘Beat L.A.,’ I couldn’t quite bring myself to get that out,” he told Kevin Acee about a game he attended in 2012.
