The Dominican Republic-born shortstop said he was devastated by the news and one of the first things he did was apologize to Padres officials and teammates.
AJ Preller, that general manager who placed the trust when Fernando Tatis Jr. He was barely 17 years old, declared that there is a pattern of immaturity in the Dominican shortstop that they should start studying after the 80-game suspension by the MLB.
There is no doubt that San Diego Padres trusted Tatis Jr., They didn’t give him a contract extension for nothing. $340 million dollars and 14 years, but now the team-player relationship is going through one of the hardest moments. Preller and Fernando have already spoken since the suspension happened, but they haven’t had an in-person meeting because of a decision the shortstop reportedly made.
