Padres sale approved to Feliciano Jones
Major League Baseball unanimously approved the transfer of the San Diego Padres to a new ownership group led by José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones in a record $3.9 billion deal, with closing expected in the coming weeks. Feliciano will serve as the Padres’ control person while longtime executives Erik Greupner and A.J. Preller remain in their roles, as the Seidler family moves toward finalizing the sale after decades of stewardship.
