SilverBullet 2,724 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I know this kid is great but hasn't he only completed like one season's worth of major league time? Seems a bit of a rush and a real risk. I don't know how I feel about this. If I'm a Padres fan I think I'm excited today but scared shitless that this might be a big problem for my team a few years from now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm cheering for the Padres to succeed. I hope the Marlins are paying attention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, remember we signed Stanton to a mega deal too...... ---- I'm interested to see how it's structured, and if it's done similarly to Stanton's or if it's more evenly spread? I also just remembered they have Machado and his $300M deal...... 2021: Machado - $32M Myers - 22.5M Hosmer - 21M Darvish - 19M (it's 22, but Cubs are paying 3M of that) ----- 94.5M in just those 5 guys before this Tatis deal........ I'd have to imagine the Tatis one is backloaded to help them out with some of these other deals. Who backed up the Brinks truck at Petco?

His brand will make up for it. He will be one of the most polarizing athletes in sports. Just wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SilverBullet 2,724 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 So do the Marlins have to think about doing deals like this sooner than later? Maybe not this big but a long extension for their younger stars like Sixto? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We ask Loria the same question when he gives Stanton the 13/325, he says just don't worry because always got the stupid teams to eat that contract.

Rydawg 99 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 12 hours ago, taiwanmarlin said: Didn't the Marlins do something like that before already ? This isn't the same. Loria back loaded the deal with no intention of keeping Stanton long term. That's no what the Padres are doing. At least I hope not. I'm not big on going all out on Free Agency. Keeping your young core players under contract through their prime years is where the money should be spent. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet 2,724 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The contract itself is fine... they're guaranteeing they keep Tatis for 14 years at a reasonable and pre determined price because imagine what teams would have to pay him if he were to hit free agency, this is basically a savings for the Padres believe it or not. They're essentially getting him at a discount. I'm just saying they better hope this guy doesn't fall off the face of the Earth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keeping your young core players under contract through their prime years is where the money should be spent. I haven't seen anything on the breakdown of the contract. But with the other hefty contracts they have on the books (which I pointed out above), I can't see how it doesn't start small and increase heavily as the contract goes on.
