The Padres hope to never have to see Fernando Tatis Jr. play a game in another uniform. AdvertisementIn 143 games since the start of the 2019 season, Tatis has a .301 average and .956 OPS. AdvertisementThough exact terms are not known, Tatis’ contract is far longer and richer than notable pacts given to other top young players in recent years. Alex Bregman, then 25, received a five-year, $100-million contract in ’19 after he played two-plus seasons. Trout, 22 at the time, was awarded six years and $144 million in 2014 after he had played two-plus seasons.
