San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. is undoubtedly one of the best players in the MLB right now. Tatis has had a great career and continues to reach milestones. However, there’s no hiding the fact that the league suspended the slugger for PED use.
Tatis violated Major League Baseball’s performance-enhancing drug policy and was out for 80 games in 2022. It came as a shock to many, and Padres fans were unable to accept it coming from Tatis. Despite his excellent career, Tatis will still have a dark spot on a white canvas.
After he failed the PED test, Fernando Tatis Jr. lost a major partnership with Adidas. The entire MLB world is aware of this situation, and sometimes fans get reminded of it. Recently, a Chicago White Sox fan taunted Tatis while he stepped up to the plate.
The Padres played the White Sox one last time this season. A fan reminded Fernando Tatis Jr. about his PED use as he made a bold comment during an almost empty stadium.
“Fernando, I got a syringe for ya!” the fan yelled.
The moment those words came out of his mouth, Tatis went deep with a solo home run to give the Padres a 3-0 lead. It was the slugger’s 150th career home run. The Padres eventually won the game with a 3-2 final score.
Fernando Tatis Jr. And The Padres Must Stay Alive With A Tough Schedule
The Padres are currently holding the second NL Wild Card spot. They are 85-71 and are five games ahead of the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Mets. If they made the playoffs today, they would face the Chicago Cubs. However, things could change with six games down the line.
Fernando Tatis Jr. will continue to play an important role as the Padres face the Milwaukee Brewers in a crucial showdown. The team will finish the regular season against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Hopefully, they will be able to win more than three games to stay alive in the Wild Card race. Every game will be crucial, and their series against the Brewers is the most important.
