There’s a recent rumor out there that Fernando Tatis is about to sign a 10 or 11 year extension for about $320 million. Since this is a Cardinals blog, I’m not going to write a post about that. Although my two cents are that... this seems pretty stupid from the Padres perspective. He’d get about $40-50 million in arbitration if he’s as good as expected. I expect the 11 year is the more accurate rumor because with an extension, his free agent years would then be $38.5 million a year for 7 years. If he’s 10 years, it’s $45 million a year for six years.
What would a Jack Flaherty extension look like?
