Nationals DH says 'He’s the only one who can control what’s going on after this' during Winter Meetings
Nelson Cruz has been where Fernando Tatis Jr. finds himself, mired in the humiliating purgatory of a lengthy performance-enhancing drug suspension due to wreckageHe’s faced the boos, the uncomfortable stares, the unspoken words of wounded teammates. He’s looked out at an uncertain, cratered road without a discernible horizon.
“To move on, you have to understand that people will have judgment about it. You can’t control what other people think. You just try to keep moving forward.” It’s another clear-as-crystal reminder that Tatis stands in the spotlight for far more than the man buttoning up the jersey. He stands for the Padres and the massive $340 million investment from an owner and GM dreaming of it all. He stands for a city that has waited generations for a transcendent talent to give it the championship that has eluded since a franchise was born.“He was a huge piece of the team,” Cruz said. “It definitely hurts that he’s not with us.
Since the unceremonious fall from grace those suspensions rightly deliver, Cruz collected five of his seven All-Star Game appearances and four Silver Slugger awards.“You have to go and play, that’s the only thing you can do,” Cruz said of Tatis, who turns 24 on Jan. 2. “Be the best player, from now on. Be the best person, too. That’s the only thing you can control. He’s a really young guy. He’s just a baby. He’s career just started.
