Fernando Tatis Jr. and the San Diego Padres have agreed to a record-breaking 14-year, $340 million long-term contract extension, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune and Fansided’s Robert Murray reports. The star shortstop’s extension will include a full no-trade clause for all 14 years of the deal, according to Scott Miller.

Tatis Jr., who’s still just 22 years of age, has thrived throughout his young career. In 143 games across two seasons with San Diego, Tatis has batted .301/.374/.582 (154 OPS+) with 39 home runs and 27 stolen bases. That’s exceptional production for any player, let alone a young shortstop. This past season, Tatis won a Silver Slugger and finished third in the NL MVP balloting.

HIS DAD, FERNANDO TATIS SR. SPENT 11 YEARS IN THE MAJORS, 3 WITH THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS WHERE HE MADE THE BASEBALL HISTORY BOOKS…..
Tatís SR. had the best season of his career in 1999 with the St. Louis Cardinals. He hit 34 home runs with 107 RBIs and 21 stolen bases, with a .298 batting average. On April 23, 1999, Tatís made baseball history when he hit two grand slams in one inning.[1] He is the only batter in MLB history to accomplish this feat.[2] Tatís hit both of his grand slams against starting pitcher Chan Ho Park of the Los Angeles Dodgers. With these two grand slams Tatís also set a Major League record with eight runs batted in during a single inning.[3]

Naomi Osaka is into the Australian Open final after defeating Serena Williams 6-3, 6-4. Osaka started behind 0-2 in the first set, but admitted once she got rid of the nerves it was all dominance from her side of the court. Osaka’s serve was the story of the night and allowed her to stay ahead for much of the match.

This will be Osaka’s second Australian Open final and fourth career Grand Slam final. Osaka is 3-0 in Grand Slam finals, winning the 2018 and 2020 US Open and 2019 Australian Open.

This was Williams’ 40th Grand Slam Semi-Final, where she has a 33-7 record.

If Adam Scott is able to finish on top of the leaderboard this week at the 2021 Genesis Invitational, he’ll become the first golfer since Phil Mickelson (2008-09) to win this event in back-to-back years. Scott, a 14-time PGA Tour champion, will have to stave off a number of serious contenders if he wants to rewrite the history books. Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas are among the experienced players looking to dethrone Scott and win the 2021 Genesis Invitational.

Play gets underway from the iconic Riviera Country Club on Thursday, Feb. 18. Johnson enters this week’s event as the Vegas favorite at 6-1
