Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig has been one of the most polarizing figures in all of baseball since his memorable call-up in June 2013. Puig’s tantalizing talent and flare simultaneously made him a fan-favorite and recipient of criticism.
The 26-year-old has been through a lot of ups and downs in his Dodgers career, but this season has primarily been a positive one. With less than one week until the non-waiver trade deadline, Puig’s name has yet to surface in speculation.
That’s in stark contrast to last year the Dodgers attempted to trade Puig and when they were unable to, demoted him to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
