Matt Seidler: Padres Considering Relocation \'Completely False\'
Matt Seidler has denied considering relocating the San Diego Padres. Seidler\'s comments are in response to a lawsuit filed by his sister-in-law, Sheel Seidler, who is seeking control of the franchise.
“Sheel’s claims against Bob and me are entirely untrue, and we will vigorously defend ourselves against them,” Matt Seidler wrote in the letter. “That said, the false accusations in her complaint will not distract the Padres organization from continuing its great momentum on and off the field in San Diego.”
The letter also emphasizes that the Padres are not considering relocation.
“This is completely false. It is also laughable — the San Diego fans are the best in baseball, and Petco Park is the best ballpark in MLB,” Matt Seidler wrote. He added in bold and underlined letters: “To clarify the record without ambiguity, relocating the Padres from San Diego has never been discussed or contemplated.”
