MLB Twitter reacts to report tensions in San Diego Padres clubhouse are approaching breaking point

Last season, the San Diego Padres inspired their entire city by making a fairytale run to the NLCS. Although the team snuck into the postseason as a Wild Card, it proved to be one of the most determined clubs.Although it met its match at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies in the end, Padres fans had big hopes for the season ahead. 2022 was the first instance of the team qualifying for the playoffs in a full season since 2006.Fans had reason to be hopeful. AL MVP contender Manny Machado was extended by virtue of a 11-year, $350 million contract, and star Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts came to town after inking a 10-year contract worth $280 million. Additionally, 2021 NL home run champ Fernando Tatis Jr. made his reappearance after missing all of 2022 with injuries and a PED suspension.However, despite the big hopes, the San Diego Padres have underwhelmed from the start. Now with a record of 37-41, the team stands 9.5 games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West, despite having the third-highest payroll in baseball. Recently, writer Dan Clarke shared that the tense situation in the clubhouse is not helping matters.Dan Clark@DanClarkSportsTension in the Padres clubhouse is rumored to be at breaking point, with finger-pointing, strategy disagreement, and accusations of laziness and poor preparation from certain high-profile players all common.

A real lack of team cohesion. Many fear the once hyped season is doomed.&quot; - Dan ClarkQuickly, fans pointed fingers. One of the prime suspects taking blame was Tatis Jr. himself. Known for his big ego and passion, Fernando Tatis Jr. was absent from the San Diego Padres roster when they made their playoff run last season.Domenic Ciarlanti@Domeniciarlanti@DanClarkSports Hate to say it but , the common denominator is Tatis .. 2021 the same could be said for what’s going on now .
