Joey and Jesse Buss, long‑time owners of the Los Angeles Lakers, have become members of a new San Diego Padres ownership group, a post‑Lakers investment reported by The New York Times. The deal expands the ownership circle that already includes longtime local investors.

The Padres’ front office described the first day under the expanded ownership as ‘phenomenal,’ according to Tom Krasovic of the Union‑Tribune, while CBS Sports noted the move links the Padres to the ongoing Buss family dispute over control of the Lakers. ESPN confirmed the brothers’ addition to the ownership roster, underscoring the shift in the team’s investor base.

Both outlets suggest the new structure could influence future franchise decisions, though no specific plans were detailed.
