Sheel Seidler, the widow of late Padres owner Peter Seidler, filed a lawsuit earlier this month trying to gain control of the team. That suit made various allegations, including that two of Peter’s brothers (Matt and Bob) breached various fiduciary duties as they tried to make an underhanded attempt to control the club and maybe even relocate the team.

Peter Seidler’s widow contends in lawsuit she was intimately involved in running of team, a claim disputed by many involved

Sheel Seidler previously accused two of her brothers-in-law of breaches of fiduciary duty and fraud as executors of Peter Seidler’s estate.

Peter Seidler’s brothers claim that his widow's lawsuit negatively impacted the Padres' chances of signing Roki Sasaki, potentially affecting the team's future.

Matt Seidler, a brother of late San Diego Padres owner Peter Seidler, accuses his sister-in-law, Sheel Kamal Seidler, of misconstruing her late husband's instructions over which family member ought to run the Padres.
