San Diego Padres President and CEO Tom Garfinkel has resigned after four years with the team.
Garfinkel had been team president since April 2009 and added the chief executive officer in 2012. He stayed with the Padres after Ron Fowler and Peter Seidler bought the franchise from John Moores last August. Fowler, the executive chairman, will take on Garfinkel’s responsibilities until the team secures a new president and CEO.
“Both Fowler and Seidler expressed their appreciation for Tom’s many contributions to the Padres over the last four years,” the team said in a statement.
