Sheel Kamal Seidler, widow of deceased San Diego Padres owner Peter Seidler, filed a lawsuit against his brothers, Matt and Bob, to gain control of the team. She claims Peter expressed his dying wish for her to lead the Padres, followed by their children, who hold the largest ownership stake. The suit alleges Matt and Bob are trying to undermine Peter's legacy and that Bob's wife engaged in racist and hateful communications towards Sheel. Both sides have released statements addressing the situation.
The San Diego Padres are in the midst of a custody battle. Sheel Kamal Seidler, the widow of deceased team owner Peter Seidler , has filed a lawsuit against his two brothers in attempt to seize control of the team. The widow has alleged in her complaint that Peter, before his death, revealed his dying wish was for her to take control of the Padres, followed by their children, and that her children hold the largest stake in ownership.
' 'The complaint filed by Sheel Seidler, the widow of Peter Seidler, is entirely without merit,' Seidler said. 'Peter had a clear estate plan. The plan specifically named three of his nine siblings, with whom he had worked closely for many decades, as successor trustees of his trust, and Peter himself prohibited Sheel from ever serving as trustee.
