After the news broke, Tatis almost immediately released the following statement, first reported by Mark Feinsand. Mark Feinsand@FeinsandStatement from Fernando Tatis Jr., released by the MLBPA:465132Statement from Fernando Tatis Jr., released by the MLBPA: https://t.co/NNzFbaKT85 According to Fernando Tatis Jr., he tested positive for Clostebol, a substance he supposedly took to treat ringworm. The San Diego Padres superstar seems to contradict himself in back-to-back statements. In his initial statement, he immediately provided an excuse, following up by saying he offers "no excuses" despite providing one. The San Diego Padres also provided the following statement on the matter, and reactions that continue to unfold even as this is being written.

One, among many others, insinuated that very idea. Chris ?@gomezchris276@BNightengale Man they dont give a shit seems like they just released that statement cause they had to@BNightengale Man they dont give a shit seems like they just released that statement cause they had to Others directly mocked the San Diego Padres' seemingly forced apology. mike@CaliKid1025@BNightengale “ we are very surprised he got caught “ there fixed it@BNightengale “ we are very surprised he got caught “ there fixed it There are certainly some in the baseball world who are on the fence regarding his intentions, thinking it to be a biproduct of Fernando Tatis Jr's treatment. Ronnie@12bonezr@SBaxterson @BNightengale most likely for his injury :o@SBaxterson @BNightengale most likely for his injury :o The fact of the matter is, very few in the MLB world are giving him the benefit of the doubt and don't mind being rather blunt about the matter. Verne "Deep State Operative" Greene@MakalapaGate@BNightengale Million-dollar talent but a 10-cent brain.@BNightengale Million-dollar talent but a 10-cent brain. Even amongst San Diego Padres fans, there's seemingly little forgiveness or care for playoff implications considering the severity of the suspension. Orca@orcazs@BNightengale void the contract5@BNightengale void the contract An honest mistake or not, few people are going to feel sorry for an MLB superstar raking in mega-millions. Those who are not Friars fans are basking in the guilty pleasure of knowing his presence will be absent from the San Diego Padres' lineup until 2023. Exhibits-A and B below are all you need to understand about the common trend circulating in the peanut gallery's hecklers box around Major League Baseball. Matthew Priebe@matthew_priebe@BNightengale At least they got soto ?@BNightengale At least they got soto ? Exhibit-B covers the motion more directly. Matthew Coloma@MColoma3403@BNightengale LOL. DODGERS ON TOP1@BNightengale LOL. DODGERS ON TOP Where do the San Diego Padres and Fernando Tatis Jr go from here Manager Bob Melvin visits the mound In terms of his suspension, that's set in stone and according to Fernando Tatis Jr.'s remarks, he won't be appealing. Now the Padres' will need more from their big 3: Machado, Soto, and Bell. In wake of the news of Tatis Jr., some fans are ready to exchange Tatis' jersey for one of their new acquisitions. Erika@iriesmadreCan I swap out my Tatis jersey for a @JuanSoto25_ one? @PadresCan I swap out my Tatis jersey for a @JuanSoto25_ one? @Padres Bottom line: they've done well thus far in Tatis' absence. But will that gaping hole in their lineup rear its head furiously come playoff time? Much remains to be seen, and how their lineup responds in regards to the sudden distraction of Fernando Tatis Jr.'s off-field issues will show baseball what this team is really made of.
