A-Rod, Manny both got busted twice too as I recall, but neither just kind of disappeared even while they were still there.

Palmeiro similarly became persona non grata pretty quickly.

A lot of guys become persona non grata. Hell, Bonds was straight up blackballed out of baseball. I remember he even offered to play for the minimum and no one bit, after he posted a .480 on base to lead the league yet again in his final season.

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.
