  "summary": "Joey and Jesse Buss have confirmed their involvement in the San Diego Padres' new ownership group, led by José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones. The brothers, who previously worked as executives for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, sold their majority ownership stake to Mark Walter last year. The new ownership group is closing its purchase of the Padres at a record valuation of $3.9 billion. The Buss brothers established Buss Sports Capital last year to invest their profits from the Lakers' sale, which was then sold to a new group led by Josh Kushner and Bob Iger.",
