A.J. Preller doesn't believe the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic will affect the San Diego Padres' ability to sign Fernando Tatis, Jr. to a long-term contract extension.

"I think it's more going to be a conversation about what we see his value is contract-wise and what he wants to do directionally and seeing if we can line up on a dollar amount," Preller said. "But he's a priority. I think his situation is a priority. I think we're in a position to try to line up on a deal. We'll see what happens here over the course of the rest of the offseason. We’ll see if we can do that."

Tatis has one more season before he begins salary arbitration and has four years of team control remaining before he can become a free agent following the 2024 season.
