Seidler’s lawsuit against her late husband’s brothers, Matthew and Robert, was filed in early January, as she tried to use them to control the team.
She claimed that before his death, Petar revealed that his dying desire was to take control of Padres, followed by their children and that her children had the highest proportion of ownership. She added that Peter’s two brothers, Matt and Bob, “trying to erase Peter’s vision and legacy, as well as falsely throw themselves like Peter’s true heirs.”

“In none of these conversations, Peter never suggested or even implied that he wanted Sheel to run Padres. While Peter told people close, he moved his family to Texas in 2021 in a significant part because he wanted to ‘take pressure from Sheel’s children’ and ‘pull Sheel out of the center.’ Peter knew too well with the potential effects of media attention, as well as other pressure, stresses and demands that come with the possession of a sports franchise. “
