# Fernando Tatis Jr. - Biography Flash
Welcome back to the show. As we close out 2025, Fernando Tatis Jr. continues to dominate headlines both on and off the field. Let's dive into the latest developments surrounding one of baseball's most compelling young superstars.
First, the big story that's been circulating all week: Padres General Manager A.J. Preller made it crystal clear at the MLB Winter Meetings that Tatis is absolutely untouchable. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Preller stated that Tatis is someone they're not talking about in any trade scenarios, adding that if you want to call him untouchable, you can. Preller emphasized that Tatis is one of the best players in baseball and every version of the Padres roster they're constructing has him right in the middle. Despite other teams inquiring about his availability, Preller was adamant: "We need Fernando." This came in response to industry speculation fueled by the team's recent payroll constraints and rotation needs.
Speaking of his on-field performance, Tatis wrapped up 2025 with solid numbers. Though it was considered a down year by his lofty standards, he still posted a 268 batting average with 25 home runs, accumulated 6.1 wins above replacement, and won the Platinum Glove in the National League. He finished eighth in NL MVP voting. For context, he remains one of baseball's most valuable players despite not hitting at the same power levels as his pre-suspension days.
On the business front, there's been some significant movement in Tatis's portfolio. According to Sports Business Journal, he signed a management deal with Rimas Sports, the agency co-owned by Puerto Rican music icon Bad Bunny. This partnership will oversee his marketing, brand relations, and business ventures. The deal notably excludes contract negotiations, which remain with his original agent Dan Lozano at MVP Sports Group. This represents a major play to expand Tatis's global brand and marketability beyond baseball.
One notable legal matter: Court House News reports that Tatis filed a lawsuit in June 2025 seeking to void an advance financing agreement with Big League Advance from his minor league days. The original contract gave the investment fund 10 percent of his career earnings in exchange for a two million dollar advance. With his historic 340 million dollar Padres contract, that agreement could net the fund over thirty million dollars, which Tatis is challenging as potentially unenforceable under Dominican law.
