Outside The Confines: Yasiel Puig settlements went under the radar

In a new Washington Post story, it has emerged that back in 2017 former Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig settled financially with two different women who had accused him of sexual assault. Puig evidently paid both of these women a combined $325,000, but continued to deny the allegations against him.

I do recommend reading the original Washington Post article, by Gus Garcia-Roberts, but please be advised most of the articles about this story include very detailed descriptions of the assaults, so proceed with caution.

What is interesting about this is how it highlights the limitations MLB has in terms of taking action against players who have been accused of these terrible actions.
