The ownership transition of the Padres, recently thought to be a straightforward process, is now anything but, and threatens to heavily alter the team’s immediate future.

Two weeks after John Seidler, the older brother of late Padres owner Peter Seidler, was set to become the team’s new designated control executive, Peter’s widow, Sheel, has filed a lawsuit that, among several other claims, alleges two other brothers-in-law have wrongly “schemed to solidify their control of the Padres” and have “falsely cast themselves as Peter’s true heirs.”

The 97-page action against two other Seidler brothers, Matt and Bob—filed in probate court in Travis County, Texas—alleges multiple breaches of fiduciary duty, fraud, and gross negligence, as well as racism against Sheel Seidler, who is of Indian descent. In particular, she alleges several members of the extended Seidler family engaged “in multiple racist, profane, and hateful communications directed at” her because of her ethnicity.
