San Diego Padres nearing sale to Jose Feliciano for MLB-record $3.9 billion
The San Diego Padres are close to being sold for a record $3.9 billion to private equity billionaire Jose Feliciano and his wife Kwanza Jones. The sale follows exploration by Peter Seidler's family since last November, two years after Seidler's death in 2023. The price would exceed the previous MLB record of $2.4 billion paid for the New York Mets in 2020.
