Shocking development, he had a mystery procedure a couple of months ago and he died this morning. The cause of death is being kept under wraps for now. RIP

I had the very same thought.
He comes from baseball royalty, his grandfather was Walter O'Malley, just a solid baseball dude.
Didn't he have a couple of recent cancer bouts?
RIP.

This is a punch to the gut for Padre fans.
Seidler put his money where his mouth was and wanted to build a winner here. He was also a really lovely guy by all accounts. Condolences to his family and close friends.
This also begs the question, what happens now with the franchise? payroll? I read that he wanted ownership to stay in the family and hopefully that's the case but who knows what will shake out now.

There were some ups and downs but he instilled hope into the fanbase...prior to his arrival there was little to none of it for a couple of decades

The old man Alex Spanos was a good guy and owner...when he died and Dean took over, it all went to the crapper. Originally Posted by Da Manster!

A semi fire sale seems more likely...I've heard every player other than machado in trade rumors the past few weeks. Originally Posted by Unwritten Law

I was reading Ken Rosenthal on X (Twitter) and others that I chat with all the accolades that were written, there is nothing but high praise for Seidler from all the power writers in the business.

Yes nasher, I have yet to hear anyone say anything bad about Seidler the person. This goes for employees, fans, players, the baseball community etc Originally Posted by stevenash
