Matt Seidler’s attorneys filed an answer to the court Monday rejecting the claims of Peter Seidler’s widow and accusing her of taking a ‘wrecking ball’ to his legacy

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.

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

As the San Diego Padres worked to finalize negotiations with Japanese pitching sensation Roki Sasaki, a legal dispute involving the late Padres owner Peter Seidler’s family added turmoil to the team’s offseason.

An active lawsuit between late Padres owner Peter Seidler's wife and brothers might have caused San Diego to lose out on signing free agent Roki Sasaki.

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.
