As a lifelong Padre fan, it's nice to finally have our next superstar now that Tony Gwynn is no longer with us.

It’s cool that hes taking care of his family but….his dad made like 20 mil in the mlb. How could he not afford an 800k house lol.

I am Dominican and I am proud of him for supporting our people here. I wish all Dominican baseball players were as charitable as him. God bless you Fernando!

you know he didnt spend that 15k at addidas they sponsor him that was probably a gift after they ink that contract like "hey can i grab some shoes for my friends and fam" then walk out with the store🤣

One of the reasons tatis is my favorite player, not only is he the man on the field but he helped his family and community with his wealth!
