The owners of the San Diego Parents, Matthew and Robert Seidler, the brother of former deceased owner Peter Seidler, responded to a lawsuit filed by Peter’s widow, Sheel Kamal Seidler, who demands for the property of the team.
Matthew and Robert’s lawyer provided the response to Pak Gazette Digital, and suggests to blame Sheel’s demand for the signing team of signing the Japanese star pitcher Roki Sasaki this low season. Sasaki signed with the rival Los Angeles Dodgers after participating in great discussions with the parents for weeks.
“For a crucial moment when the parents’ management was in late negotiation stages with a star pitcher, Sheel’s demand suggested recklessly that Matt and his brothers were planning to relocate the parents elsewhere,” the answer, which was presented In the Texas Senior Court on Monday, Monday, Monday, read.
Sasaki himself said that one of the reasons why he chose to sign with the Dodgers was due to the stability of the organization, at his introductory press conference last week.
“The number 1 that stood out [about the Dodgers] It was the stability of the main office, “said the pitcher through a translator.

Sheel filed his demand against his brothers -in -law in early January in an attempt to take control of their team for their children.
The widow claimed in her complaint that Peter, before her death, revealed that her dying desire was that she took control of parents, followed by her children, and that her children have the greatest participation in the property. She adds that the two brothers of Peter, Matt and Bob, “are trying to erase Peter’s vision and legacy, as well as the real true heiress of Peter.”
The demand also alleges that Bob’s wife made multiple “racist, profane and odious communications directed to Sheel, a woman of Indian ancestry, in communications.”
Matt and Robert’s response claim that Peter never appointed Sheel as the team’s successor during his life.
“Peter could have chosen (a) to give Sheel the right to be, designate or approve the individual to control parents, (b) give Sheel Directive Derperty or control over the interest of the trust in parents, (c) give To Sheel the right to approve or veto any transaction by the trusts, or (d) requires that the administrator make any main distribution that Sheel demands, “said the answer.
The answer states that Peter amended his trust at least seven times after his marriage and never appointed Sheel a successor administrator in any version and was prevented from “having served as a successor trustee under any circumstance.”
The answer also states that Peter said during his life that he wanted his brothers and his niece to take control of the team after his death.

“Peter had numerous conversations with his brothers and others about successors control and constantly identified five members of the Seidler family as candidates: Bob, Matt, John, his brother Tom (who has more than 30 years of career in baseball , including 12 years with the parents), and his niece, Monica, “read.
“In none of these conversations he suggested Peter or even implied that he wanted Sheel to execute the parents. As Peter told people close to him, he transferred his family to Texas in 2021 in large part because he wanted to “remove the pressure from Sheel and the children” and “take Sheel out of the attention center.” Peter knew very well the possible effects of media attention, as well as the other pressures, tensions and demands that lead to the owner of a sports franchise. “
Pak Gazette Digital has communicated with Sheel to comment, but has not received an answer at the time of publication.
Peter died in November 2023 at the age of 63. He had been sick for months, although it has not been revealed what he had been trying exactly. Seidler is a Cancer survivor They had health problems for quite some time.
He said in July 2023 that parents would remain within his family for generations after he died.
Peter was the founder of Seidler Equity Partners, who was a key piece of the group that bought the parents in 2012. Seidler’s uncle, also called Peter, and Ron Fowler were also part of the group.
The name of the group derives from the grandfather of Seidler, Walter O’Malley, owner of the 1950 Dodgers, when Brooklyn moved for the first time to Los Angeles, until 1979. Fowler transferred the role of President to Seidler in 2020, and Then Seidler bought that Seidler bought Seidler part of Fowler’s participation in the organization to become the largest interested part of the team.
