Fans roast Fernando Tatis Jr. for flaunting Jarritos Jordans amid team's poor performance: "Who cares?"

Fernando Tatis Jr., a right fielder for the San Diego Padres and a dedicated sneakerhead, is breaking the internet with his cleats. Tatis, who missed all of the previous season due to injury, has returned to the field and has been spotted flaunting his Jarritos Jordans sneakers during matches.

Tatis missed all of the previous season due to injury. He is experiencing one of his worst seasons after missing the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 due to suspension. He is still doing admirably in comparison to the rest of the league, but not in accordance with his lofty expectations.

Tatis Jr. has recently been under heavy fire for his choice of sneakers. Fans want him to pay more attention to his game than to his sneakers.
