LOL on the ringworm medicine. OF, I think your speculation is correct. Tatis was looking to get back in playing shape ASAP, and took a banned substance to help him recover. Whether he took it knowingly or was willfully ignorant doesn’t matter much.
I hope he learns from his mistake because he is immensely talented. But the Padres theory for going after Soto was that if they could nab a wild card, the combination of Soto plus a recovered Tatis Jr, plus their other pieces would make them dangerous in the playoffs. Alas, they better hope next year is the year, or that they have another $400 million in the couch cushions to resign him.
