Fernando Tatis Jr. is working hard to bounce back after a challenging period in 2022, when he was caught using Clostebol, a performance-enhancing drug. His troubles didn’t end with the 80-game suspension; he also missed the entire season due to a wrist injury. Then, in 2023, Tatis struggled with both his performance on the field and his marketability as one of MLB’s rising stars.
However, Tatis is now on the upswing. Having settled into a role in right field, he had a strong comeback in 2024, contributing significantly to the San Diego Padres’ five-game NLDS loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 26-year-old Dominican seems determined to enhance his legacy moving forward, as evidenced by his recent move.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Tatis is considering hiring Bad Bunny’s Rimas group to manage him, possibly to boost his marketability. Bad Bunny, a global music sensation, is not only one of the biggest stars in the industry but also a proud representative of Puerto Rico. Aligning himself with Bad Bunny could be a smart strategy for Tatis, especially given his connection to the Latino community.
Rimas Entertainment, a label dedicated to promoting Latino artists with Bad Bunny as its standout client, raises the question: is Tatis planning to explore music himself, or could a collaboration between the two stars be on the horizon? Fans will have to stay tuned.
