The wife of late San Diego Padres owner Peter Seidler, Sheel Seidler, sued brothers-in-law Matthew and Robert on Monday, attempting to prevent another brother, John, from taking control of the team rather than her.

Matt Seidler fired back on Tuesday. In a letter addressed to the “Padres Partners and Faithful Fans” and sent Tuesday afternoon to the team’s corporate partners, Seidler refuted allegations in Sheel Seidler’s lawsuit against him and his brother,

Sheel Seidler claimed that Matt and Bob Seidler breached their fiduciary duties as executors of Peter Seidler's estate.
