However, the chance for Fernando Tatis Jr. to become uniform with the team is uncertain, as the Stars Council does not yet have permission from his franchise, the San Diego Padres, to participate with the team. from his region in the tournament, which is already entering the playoff day.
Both have trained with the club in the last 3 or 4 days, they have even faced pitchers, but in short, on the eve of obtaining a millionaire contract with the brothers, the situation is much more complicated for him to receive well to act.
