Paige Spiranac Gives Stunning Verdict on MLB Slapping Fernando Tatis Jr. With an 80-Game Suspension

Paige Spiranac is an established sports influencer with more than 10 million followers across all social media platforms. Although she mostly shares her take on golf related news, she also is known for making her statements regarding other sports.

San Diego Padres star player, Fernando Tatis Jr., received an 80-game suspension recently for violating Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement. After testing positive for Clostebol on Friday, the athlete released a statement. As the trending news of the sports world, the 29-year-old disclosed her take on it, which soon became a hot topic on the internet.

Paige Spiranac doesn’t believe in Fernando Tatis Jr.’s explanation

Tatis Jr. released an official statement after testing positive for Clostebol. The Padres star player explained that he got the drug in his body after taking medication, which had Clostebol in it, to treat ringworm. 

“No! He knew what he was doing,” Spiranac stated through a Twitter video. “He knew he was taking steroids like a ton of other players,” she added. According to Spiranac, no doctors would risk prescribing medicine like it to a player like him, who has signed a $340 million deal for the next 14 years with his team. 

Mostly, all his San Diego Padres fellow players had a negative reaction to the superstar shortstop’s test result. According to them, he disappointed them with his immature behavior. His coaches and the San Diego Padres’ management team had a similar reaction to all this. However, Spiranac didn’t agree with their response as well. “You (the other players) have done the same thing,” she said in the video.

Notably, Tatis Jr. had been on a break from his career to recover from a broken wrist he suffered from a motorcycle accident. With the ban, which he accepted without an appeal, he will miss the next 80 games, 48 this season, and the first 32 of the next season. 

Twitter went wild after Spiranac’s controversial opinion

“Let’s make steroids legal,” the former professional golfer stated in the video. “I want to see those guys doing superhuman things,” she added. She also added that Pete Rose and Barry Bonds should receive Hall of Fame. Notably, Rose is ineligible for the same because of his association with gambling. Meanwhile, Bonds didn’t receive it due to his links with steroids. 

Spiranac revealed later that it was not her “serious take” on the matter. However, it was too late as her followers rapidly filled the comment section with their opinion on her statements. 

It is not a secret that Spiranac enjoys making serious news funny with her sarcastic comments. She did the same this time, which many of her followers believed was her real opinion about the matter.
