Padres ownership lawsuit drama, Justin Verlander to Giants & Dodgers trade World Series champ
Description
The San Diego Padres are in the midst of a lawsuit battle over ownership that involves the late Peter Seidler’s wife, Sheel Seidler, and his brothers over who should control the team. While this situation doesn’t appear to have a resolution in sight anytime soon, the future of the franchise will certainly hinge on how things unfold.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the lawsuit and statement issued by Sheel, the obligation she feels to Padres fans and her late husband’s legacy and her efforts to continue building a winning team. They also explore how this messy drama might be affecting the Padres' offseason plans, including their pursuit of Roki Sasaki and other free agents.
Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the San Francisco Giants signing Justin Verlander and what his expectations should be heading into his age-42 season, the Los Angeles Dodgers trading Gavin Lux to the Cincinnati Reds and Brent Rooker signing an extension with the Sacramento A’s. Later, the guys read a hilarious mention from Jazz Chisholm Jr., open the BBQ Mailbag and make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.
