Breaking: Fernando Tatis Jr. and the Padres have agreed to a 14-year extension worth more than $300 million, sources tell me and @Ken_Rosenthal.
- Mike Clevinger, on Fernando Tatis Jr.: "It's the second time we've been disappointed with him, and you hope he grows up and learns from this and learns that it's about more than just him right now."
- BREAKING: The Padres have an agreement in place to acquire Blake Snell from the Rays, sources tell @JCTSports, @Ken_Rosenthal and me. Luis Patiño, Francisco Mejía, Blake Hunt and Cole Wilcox would head to Tampa. Deal pending review of medical records.
- Joe Musgrove said he drank about a dozen bottles of water tonight. "I had to piss so bad in the fourth or fifth inning," he said.
- The Padres coveted Josh Hader for years. In August, they finally landed him. Today, with their season on the line and Bryce Harper at the plate, they did not put him in the precise kind of spot they acquired him to own. Hader never took the mound. Brutal ending for San Diego.
- CORRECTION: The Nationals are on Eric Hosmer's 10-team no-trade list. He would have to give his consent to be in a deal with Washington.
- No matter what happens in the NLCS and potentially beyond, people in this city are never going to stop talking about what happened in the bottom of the seventh inning tonight.
- Yu Darvish said he wishes there were a rule that allowed pitchers over the age of 34 to decide whether they want to hit for themselves or not. He said he came up with the idea before bed. Personally, he would like to watch someone else hit.
- Source: Fernando Tatis Jr. will be on the Padres’ Opening Day roster. If any GM was going to do something like this, A.J. Preller seemed like the one.

- Replying to @dennistlinJoe Musgrove: "He's a young kid. He's going to learn his lessons or whatnot. But ultimately, I think you got to start showing a little bit of remorse and you got to start showing us that you're committed to it and you want to be here."
