The family of the late San Diego Padres owner Peter Seidler is exploring the possibility of selling the franchise. The Padres announced the Seidler family’s decision to explore a potential sale. The club has hired BDT & MSD Partners, which served as an adviser in the recent sales of the NBA’s Boston Celtics and MLB’s Chicago White Sox. John Seidler became the Padres chairman after his brother’s death in November 2023. He said his family is “evaluating our future with the Padres, including a potential sale of the franchise.”
