Buss Brothers Enter Padres Ownership | San Diego Padres News

Joey and Jesse Buss, sons of legendary Lakers owner Jerry Buss, are making their mark in baseball by acquiring a 5% stake in the San Diego Padres — a dream their father nearly pursued three decades ago. Rooted in childhood ties to San Diego, the brothers, through their new venture Buss Sports Capital, aim to deepen community spirit with the Padres. Meanwhile, the family’s basketball empire is shifting: five Buss siblings sold their Lakers shares for $12.5 billion to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, while Jeanie Buss, who runs the team, didn’t vote and is challenging the sale legally. It’s a bold pivot from hoops to baseball — and a full-circle moment for the Buss dynasty. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
