- Bob Melvin reached out to suspended star Tatis on Saturday
- Padres manager said All-Star shortstop ‘feels remorseful’
San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin reached out to suspended All-Star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr in a phone call Saturday and said the player “feels remorseful”.
Melvin did not reveal anything else about what he termed a “private conversation” with Tatis, the dynamic fan favorite whose 80-game ban for testing positive for a performance-enhancing anabolic steroid, Clostebol, was announced by Major League Baseball shortly before the start of San Diego’s 10-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday.
