You're correct, fire sale was too harsh a term. But losing Soto, Snell, and others, to me, was the same as throwing their hands in the air telling everyone they were trying to get out from under a bad investment. But the last two weeks I've been hearing how the Padres are going to make the playoffs, and I was caught off guard. They're not among my favorite teams, but I like rooting for new faces in the playoffs.
Has Tatis' reputation bounced back after his PED ban.
