Joey and Jesse Buss join San Diego Padres ownership group
The youngest sons of former Lakers owner Jerry Buss have taken stakes in the Padres as the baseball club’s new ownership group takes shape.
Joey and Jesse Buss have become part of the San Diego Padres’ ownership group, according to reports on Wednesday. The brothers are the two youngest children of former Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss.
Yahoo Sports reported that the Padres’ new ownership group is led by José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones. CBS Sports said Buss Sports Capital, the firm founded by Joey and Jesse Buss, has bought a 5% stake in the team.
The move links the Padres to a family long associated with the Lakers, adding another layer to the club’s ownership changes. The reports did not say when the transaction will close or whether the brothers will have a day-to-day role with the team.
