SAN DIEGO -- Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. filed a lawsuit Monday against Big League Advance in an attempt to void the future earnings contract he signed as a 17-year-old minor leaguer that could cost him $34 million. Tatis signed a $340 million, 14-year contract in February 2021. A lawsuit filed Monday by Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. accuses Big League Advance of using predatory tactics to lure him into an "investment deal," which he signed as a 17-year-old minor leaguer, that was actually an illegal loan. Hertzberg said that even though Tatis signed the deal in his native Dominican Republic, he is covered by California consumer protection laws. BLA sued onetime Padres outfielder Franmil Reyes on June 16 in Delaware Superior Court, claiming breach of contract.
