Over the past month or so, talks between the Padres and superstar shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. have been ramping up regarding a potential contract extension this offseason.
Per Pio Deportes, the sides have recently been discussing a massive 11-year, $320 million extensions and it’s reportedly “in the advanced stages” of the conversation. Other outlets that have also confirmed these talks include Jessica Kleinschmidt of NBC Sports Bay Area and MLB Network insider Jon Heyman.
If the deal stands at $320 million, it would become the largest deal in franchise history, beating out Manny Machado’s $300 million deal which was signed prior to the 2019 season.
