New Padres owners José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones vow to pursue San Diego’s first championship

San Diego Padres owners José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones made their debut at a news conference, accompanied by a song Jones composed and performed herself. The couple, married and working together, aim to secure their first World Series title for a team that has never achieved such a milestone. Feliciano, a billionaire private equity investor, recently purchased the team at a record $3.9 billion valuation.

The team has recently shown success, with four playoff appearances in the last six seasons, and Feliciano and Jones pledge to maintain this momentum while focusing on the city's community. The new owners praised the passionate fan base and honored former owner Peter Seidler, whose winning attitude still inspires San Diego.
