Jurickson Profar’s second PED suspension isn’t just another “yikes” moment for the Braves. For Padres fans, it lands with a weird, retroactive thud — the kind that makes you replay a season you thought you understood. Not because San Diego is suddenly rewriting history out of spite, but because this is what happens when a second positive test shows up and drags old memories into the courtroom of public opinion.
Mark Bowman’s note hit a nerve: when Profar first got suspended, some folks around San Diego admitted they’d been suspicious during his 2024 breakout — the one that basically resurrected his career right after Colorado cut him loose late in 2023.
