Yasiel Puig reportedly turned down an offer from the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO.

Is miss Yasiel Puig, and I’m sure that I’m not alone in that sentiment. According to a report from Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the former Cincinnati Reds outfielder turned down an opportunity to play for the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO. Instead, the Heroes signed for Chicago Cubs infielder Addison Russell.

In December of 2018, Puig joined the Reds along with former Los Angeles Dodgers teammates Matt Kemp, Kyle Farmer and Alex Wood.
