Fernando Tatis Jr signed one of the biggest contracts in baseball history this winter, and the Oakland A’s will see him on Friday as they take on the San Diego Padres in the Cactus League.
The A’s are opening the game with reliever Sergio Romo, but not as a strategic move. Rather, there’s a storm brewin’ in the Arizona forecast, and they “want to make sure the veteran guys get their work in if the rain ends things early,” reports Melissa Lockard of The Athletic.
After Romo will come previously scheduled starter Daulton Jefferies.
