Fernando Tatis Jr. was just given a shit ton chicken nuggets

Imagine getting paid 100% of your salary for 14 years after only putting in 7% of that work? Now imagine that number was $340 million. Are the Padres fools for guaranteeing that kind of money and term to a 21 year old who has not seen 600 at bats in his career? Maybe. I don’t know. Probably not.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is as sure a thing as you are going to find in major league baseball. At least that’s what this seam head will tell you. Ranked up against the best career starts for MLB players under 22, Tatis Jr falls pretty much right in the middle of a 20 man list full of hall of famers and perennial All-Stars. Further more, when you are in as far in as the Padres are money is just fake, like bitcoin.

The Padres are currently paying their infield 812 Million Dollars in total salaries! That is fucking laughable. And they are still the 2nd best team in their own division. Not to mention the entire franchise has never won squat. And, where is this money coming from? No one gives a shit about the Padres. Half of San Diego doesn’t know they have a baseball team the other half doesn’t know what baseball is. Has Padres ownership just been stashing away all of the Dodgers cash from profit sharing waiting for right time to make it rain?

Regardless, if you are going to make it rain on a baseball player and not a stripper, Tatis Jr. is as sure of a bet as you can make. Plus, I’m willing to bet Fernando could make it move in the right setting with a phat beat. He’s that good.
