Outside The Confines: Padres lock down Tatis for the long haul

With spring training officially underway, there has been plenty to discuss in the realm of baseball (like how it’s actually happening!). Some big stories that have hit since Josh posted OTC on Wednesday: pitchers and catchers reported; the Mets dropped the ball on another sexual harassment scandal, and of course... the San Diego Padres locked down Fernando Tatis Jr. for an absolutely incredible 14-year deal worth $340 million.

That big contract will lead the bulk of our links today, because it’s sort of important, and begs the question: is any player worth a 14-year contract?
