Buss brothers acquire stake in San Diego Padres ownership group

Joey and Jesse Buss have purchased about 5% of the San Diego Padres through their investment firm, Buss Sports Capital. The transaction coincides with Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano taking control of the franchise for a record $3.9 billion. Despite their ties to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Buss brothers were raised Padres fans and aim to leverage their experience in player development and roster construction as they join the ownership group. Joey Buss expressed excitement about contributing to the team he has supported since childhood and believes the Padres are positioned for future success. The transition marks a significant moment in Padres history as new leadership begins to take shape.
