00:00I already told you, Fernando Tatis having no home runs sitting on May the 26th.
00:04I don't even want to get into that.
00:05I have no idea how it happens.
00:06You run into – Bartolo Colon hits more home runs right now than Fernando Tatis ever did.
00:11Tatis lost his bid to avoid – lost his bid in arbitration, $3.74 million.
00:17Here's if you're not hearing about this story.
00:19Tatis, before he was a major leaguer, you are allowed to take out – if you're a good enough prospect.
00:23You know what?
00:24Your future earnings, I can buy in.
00:26And you say to yourself, well, what does that actually mean?
00:28I will give you – and this is what happened.
00:30Fernando Tatis, here's $2 million.
00:31If you make the major leagues and sign contracts, we are going to get a percentage of your future contracts.
00:37If you flame out or get injured, that $2 million that you borrowed, it's all yours.
00:42We're not – no paybacks.
00:43It is what it is.
00:44Well, Tatis is a big-time major league baseball star signing hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts.
00:49Now he's upset he has to pay this back despite taking that loan.
00:53Joe, you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
00:56No, you can't, Donnie.
00:57And it's – yeah, it was all fine and dandy.
01:00And give Padre – well, I guess, what was that, three Padres owners ago?
01:03I don't even know at this point here, Donnie.
01:06But, you know, the whole reality was that they locked him up early.
01:10And then don't forget, Donnie, he had the shoulder issue.
01:12He still does.
01:13Every time he slides into a base, remember, his shoulder pops out.
01:16And it's – yeah, it's a bit of an issue here.
01:19But he opted to get the money and go – before he was eligible for the big deal, right?
01:25So he opted to go that path, Donnie.
01:27And, well, lesson learned here, my friend.
01:29That bill came due.
01:31And, yeah, he's still only not exactly hitting his weight right now or earning another big contract anytime soon.
01:39And, yeah, he's still only going to be able to get the money right now or earning money right now
01:39or earning money right now or earning money right now.
