Fernando Tatis suspended 80 Games for PEDs

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Watching this Padres team go down in flames over the next half decade is going to be entertaining stuff.

That's a bit surprising. Maybe trying to use them for his injury issues?

Having him and all of his various ailments on the team.. hed actually fit right in. Maybe not with the PEDs though.

That’s what I was thinking.

I already regret the Tatis shirt I bought my son a few weeks ago.

I just realized Tatis fulfilled the Madden cover curse, but for MLB The Show.

I bought a Jersey 2 months before the Padres played in Florida for n August . It arrived during the postseason after they had dropped so far. Never wore it. Was gonna break it out this year now it will be at least 2 years old when I first put it on.If ever.

This is why I will only ever buy retired players jerseys or my own custom. They can't be traded, they can't go elsewhere, and disappointment has already been processed (unless it's an O.J. or Tony LaRussa situation).

I would hope if Tatis killed someone people wouldn't blame Preller for that too

Signing Elijah Tatis was brilliant.

His statement says it was in treatment he took for ringworm and that he has always tested negative in the past.

 

 Not my dog but I’m inclined to believe him.

That’s your first comment in this thread? Hahahahahahahahhaa

Hahn can now brag he didn’t trade away a future HOF player

But this begs the question… is the player that was traded even the same guy if he starts juicing after the trade? Reminds of when the Sox traded Sammy Sosa. White Sox Sosa was a different guy than Cubs Sosa. Completely different human beings really.

Immature guy with issue after issue 

I’ve been saying it for awhile. That contract is going to look like a complete albatross in the near future. And the “fleecing of Hahn” is actually going to be a significant burden on the Padres in the future. Isn’t it ironic?

See other thread in Diamond whatever section.

Two threads concurrent.

Surely they can send that out with season ticket renewal notices...

 

1) Most publicity for Padres in franchise history in one week...well maybe 1984 World Series.

2) Team will rally together..."this is my team on the court/field" effect.  Kim, Profar and now Grisham playing with confidence.  Nobody will wait for Tatis to come back and save the franchise.

3) Tatis will have to work harder than he ever has because of the cloud of suspicion hanging over next season and even the validity of his contract.

4) Team has easiest schedule in baseball the next three weeks.

Fathom asked for "spin," lol.

You're right, amazing trade by Rick. Bravo.

Didn’t say that. My point is did the Padres really fleece Hahn if Tatis becomes a financial burden on the Padres for the next 12 years? Sounds like a lose-lose for both sides to me.

At any rate, they now have a lot of payroll flexibility for 2023 that they didn’t previously have.

Steve Stone Sox spin would be that they couldn’t count on him to stay healthy…shoulder subluxations, etc., and Tatis refused adamantly offseason surgery to address that injury.  So it was still going to be a lingering concern.

Which means Preller will simply double down and go after Correa or Trea Turner, who started his career with the Padres.

Or be fired first for not doing due diligence and exposing Padres/Seidler to that long-term contract obligation.

Not really. He was only making $5M this season and $7M next season so he isn’t losing much and the Padres aren’t gaining much, relatively speaking. Unfortunately for the Padres, they heavily backloaded his contract. Ouch.

Column: Fernando Tatis Jr. shows generational immaturity, selfishness with drug suspension

 

Didn't inform Preller personally.

Overshadowed Soto/Bell homecoming to Washington.

Padres just changed zip code of ballpark area to Cloud Nine, lol.

Ringworm is definitely one of the more creative excuses for PEDs.

Funny that no one questioned this.  I had it once as a teen and it was treated with ointment.
