Fans Trigger Wild Yankees Fantasy Yet Again as 23-Year-Old MLB Star Is Spotted Heading to New York City

Fans are still speculating over a controversial MLB superstar’s potential sign-up with the New York Yankees. As per common knowledge, the Yankees are one of the teams bolstering their roster in the offseason. So, while constructing stronger muscles, the Yankees are trying not to leave any stones unturned. Therefore, not too long ago, reports suggested the Yankees were moving ahead in pursuit of the infamous MLB star.

San Diego Padres’ 23-year-old star slugger Fernando Tatis Jr. recently got noticed at an airport. He was catching a flight to New York from the Dominican Republic. Tatis Jr. was thus one of the big names recently linked to the Yankees’ radar. His trending image from the airport set social media abuzz.

Fans carry on their New York Yankees fantasy with MLB star

The MLB winter meetings are heating up as a few teams have ignited a fire through their acquisitions. The Yankees themselves grabbed headlines by re-signing the iconic Aaron Judge. On the other hand, the Padres acquired the enigmatic shortstop Xander Bogaerts from the Boston Red Sox. Therefore, a trade with the Yankees for Tatis Jr. (also a shortstop), appeared to have a high possibility.

Since the rumors began spreading like wildfire, the clues have pointed towards a shutdown of the fantasy. This means Tatis Jr. will most likely begin the next season, walking out of the Padres’ dugout. But the fans have still not stopped making wild guesses. The news of Tatis Jr.’s recent visit to New York only baked out more pies in the sky.

MLB insider Hector Gomez posted the image on his Twitter account quoting, “Fernando Tatis Jr. at the Dominican airport heading to New York City.”

One of the fans replied, “He’ll be dining with Cashman at El Malecon in Washington Heights tonight. Book it.”

While another fan wrote, “He’s a Yankee.”

Therefore, a few fans still have the pipe dream of seeing Tatis Jr. in the Yankees.

DIVE DEEPER

Nevertheless, setting aside all the rumors and speculations, in truth, Tatis Jr. in all likelihood he was visiting his doctor. He missed out on the beginning part of this year’s season due to a wrist injury. Following this, he took clostebol and tested positive for PED intake. Consequently, he got banned from 80 games with immediate effect. Therefore, it was rather a routine check with his doctor, who is from New York.
