Oh boy. What a day.
Sheel Seidler, the widow of beloved former Padres chairman Peter Seidler, is accusing two of Peter Seidler’s brothers—Matt and Bob—of breaching their duties as trustees of the Seidler Trust (which controls the Padres). She claims that the two have “irreconcilable conflicts of interest” and “falsely cast themselves as Peter’s true heirs” in an effort to take control of the franchise.
According to Sportico’s report, the suit seeks to allow Sheel take control of the team as the sole beneficiary of the trust.
Sheel posted a message on X earlier today explaining her decision to file a complaint against Matthew (Matt) and Robert (Bob) Seidler.
