After what has been a record offseason for free agent contracts, it may be a good idea for the San Diego Padres to get ahead of the curve and try to extend Fernando Tatis Jr.
Despite these rumors of the Padres possibly trading for Francisco Lindor and moving their franchise player to center field, Tatis is the face of this team and will be for the next decade.
That is if the Padres are wise and try to lock him up early.
I get that he’s only 20 years old (will turn 21 in January) and only has 334 at-bats in the big leagues, but I don’t think you’ll find anyone in the game who doesn’t think he’s going to be a future superstar.
