MLB Owners Approve $3.9 Billion Sale of San Diego Padres to Feliciano and Jones
Major League Baseball owners have unanimously approved the $3.9 billion sale of the San Diego Padres to a group led by private equity billionaire Jose E. Feliciano and his wife Kwanza Jones. The new owners expressed commitment to building a championship-winning team while maintaining current CEO Erik Greupner and GM A.J. Preller in their roles. The sale follows the Seidler family’s decision to explore a sale after longtime owner Peter Seidler’s death in 2023, with the transaction expected to close in the coming weeks.
