This is very sad and such a punch to the gut.

  1. if the seidler family was planning to sell the team, what the hell was the point of fighting the wife of seidlef for control of the franchise

  2. Fuck, John Seidler and the rest of this ownership group. That are ruining Peter’s legacy and soiling his wishes

  3. Excited and apprehensive at the same time. I mean, we could get someone who wants to win no matter what and money is no object. Or it could be another money skimping owner who just throws B and C level players out there. I’ll hold judgement until we see what unfolds.

  4. Honoring Peter’s legacy (“I expect my family to own the franchise for another 50, 75 years”) by selling the team? Disgusting framing.

  5. Spanos and the Seidlers (outside of Pete) suck. We’re so unlucky to have team owners not give a shit about our city/fans.

  6. Honestly Peter‘s last gift to us was all these big contracts. If a new owner was only serious about making money, they would not purchase a team that has all these loaded contracts.

    Although we are pretty screwed until they sell the team because there’s no way in hell they’re gonna be adding any big names because it just reduces the potential profitability and makes the team less desirable.

  7. So basically “we are broke and can’t afford to make this team competitive” I get it at least they doing us right by selling it to someone who is capable of investing into the team and making us happy

  8. I want Peter back, RIP. His brothers are only in it for the money. Peter cared about the team and the city.

  9. Obviously with that attitude they don’t care about the Padres and winning. If they kept them we’d turn into the Pirates. Good sell the team to someone who cares about the club and San Diego!

    I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine… i have my beer I’ll be fine … yea I’ll be fine …

  11. Hopefully this gives us a real chance to win something. No need to force or keep the loser mentality that that’s been around since the began for some reason.
    Hope a true winning franchise buys it brings several world series wins finally. Fuck their family if it only produced loser teams this entire time.

  12. My ex’s family did this
    They talked and talked out of their asses about keeping their fathers beautiful home he designed himself

    2 years later they’re now trying to sell it.
    Phony ass people out in the world

  13. Can someone explain how this will work. As I understand it, Sheel owns approximately 25% of the team, the rest of the Seidlers 20% and then a bunch of minority owners. Is this a sell of just the 20% or does this also include Sheel’s 25%? I also read that a minority owner of 10% of the team is currently finalizing a sell of his 10%. It’s all very confusing.
