SAN DIEGO — Padres infielder Fernando Tatis Jr. has served 17 of his 80-game doping suspension by Major League Baseball and forfeited the first installment of what could be $2.9 million in lost wages. He’s met with the owner, the general manager, teammates, the media, apologizing profusely for “my mistakes,” expressing “how truly sorry I am,” explaining “how my dreams have turned into my worst nightmares.”
That’s the easy part. The hard part lies ahead.
“There’s a very long way going forward,” Tatis said.
