Feliciano and Jones Near Record $3.9B Padres Buy

A group led by Chelsea co-owner José E. Feliciano and his wife Kwanza Jones is nearing a $3.9 billion purchase of the San Diego Padres, a record price for MLB that would require 75% league approval and could influence upcoming labor talks. The final price reflects roughly $300 million in debt; Feliciano is a Clearlake Capital co-founder and Jones leads Supercharged, who beat rival bids from Dan Friedkin, Tom Gores and Joe Lacob in a bid process following the team’s sale process after Peter Seidler’s death.
