The fate of Tatis Jr’s contract with the San Diego Padres goes through one voice and it is that of Pete Seidler, owner of the team. After the New York Post will ensure that within the California franchise they could not guarantee his millionaire contract for 14 seasons and $340 million dollars as a result of his off-sports incidents, the highest authority of the Padres decided to speak.
Pete Seidler chatted with the insider Bob Nightengale, from the newspaper USA Today regarding the situation of Tatis Jr. And revealed if within the team they are repentant as an organization of size according to the Dominican.
“No regrets. No. No. No. Fernando (Tatis Jr.) knows we’ve got his back. There is no way you can be in a relationship for 14 years and think that everything will be easy and pure joy. There will be mistakes, and I knew that when I got engaged, “said the businessman, closing any possibility of danger on Tatis Jr.’s contract.
Last week, Jon Heyman of The New York Post wrote that after the accident that led to the fracture of the left wrist of Fernando Tatis Jr., the San Diego Padres have the precedent so that if future transgressions or bad behaviors of the shortstop occur, they decide not to guarantee his millionaire contract.
However, the same reporter published that it is “very unlikely” that the franchise would make a drastic decision against the one from San Pedro de Macorís.
