Fernando Tatis Jr. may not have trouble finding work during the current MLB stoppage.
The San Diego Padres phenom got recruited by Mexican professional baseball team Toros de Tijuana in a tweet on Tuesday.

Tatis seemed to be pretty open to their recruiting efforts and replied back with a few emojis.

The exchange comes in the wake of the news that Major League Baseball is cancelling regular season games after failing to reach an agreement with the MLBPA on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
As far as job opportunities go, the Toros’ offer has to be a pretty intriguing one for the All-Star shortstop Tatis. He has already played overseas in the Winter League before, and Tijuana is just a quick border crossing away from San Diego (only about 20 miles). It definitely looks like Tatis is in much better shape than this fellow MLB slugger searching for a new gig.
