He still is, part of Jeff Moorad’s minority ownership group. They’ve agreed to sell their 49% stake along with John Moores’ 51%, including the AAA franchise in Tucson the minority group owns separately. The last rumor was that Moores wants $815 million (including $215 million in assumed debt for a net of $600 million cash), and the minority group paid only $145 million plus a couple million for the Tucson franchise. Expect Aikman to come out of the sale with some serious profits.

But it might be the one they need.

Wasn’t Troy Aikman an owner?

This isn’t the lefty the Padres are looking for.

Forget his career earnings just from playing. Add a gazillion dollars in endorsements for the top golfers. Mickelson has the scratch to be a big time player as a potential owner. He’s a great guy on top of that and the “get involved in the community” stuff is sincere from him.

San Diego would be lucky to have Phil as an owner, a class guy who has a penchant for winning, unlike the present ownership.
