What saves these guys is that they hit the huge milestones, and while they became unwelcome they couldn't be ignored. Palmeiro got over 500/3,000 and his name still comes up plenty, in a negative way, but there. Cano didn't really become persona non grata, he just became almost not even there at all, a footnote instead of a villain.

Not persona non grata, just persona non lol.
