Fowler/O'Malley Group To Be Formally Introduced As Padres Owners

The group including former Dodgers Owner Peter O'Malley has "closed its $800 million deal to buy" the Padres, and an introductory news conference has been scheduled for this morning. The group, led by San Diego businessman Ron Fowler, includes O'Malley's sons, Kevin and Brian, and nephews Peter and Tom Seidler. Golfer Phil Mickelson has an interest in the group, but he "won't be at the news conference ... as he's en route to the Deutsche Bank Championship" (AP, 8/29). 

This will be the "fifth group to assume ownership" of the franchise since it was founded in '69 (NORTH COUNTY TIMES, 8/29).
