Peter Seidler's Padres Are A Family Business | Defector
Briefly

"The complaint alleges that Matthew and Robert Seidler, as successor trustees to Peter Seidler's trust, failed to comply with their fiduciary duties to Sheel Seidler, the sole beneficiary of the trust, including by withholding funds and using the trust as a 'piggybank' to enrich themselves."
"A spokesman for the Seidler Trusts released a statement calling Sheel Seidler's complaint 'entirely without merit.' According to the statement, the trustee was solely responsible for appointing the next control person, and in 2020, when Peter Seidler took control of the team, Sheel had agreed she 'had no right to be or to designate the Control Person.'"
"While some companies enjoy referring to themselves as a metaphorical family, others make it very real. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Peter Seidler stated prior to his death that he wished for the team to remain in his family 'for generations,' and declined to elaborate on if that meant his wife would take over after his death."
