When Yasiel Puig joined the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013 he formed strong friendships with Hanley Ramirez and Juan Uribe. The trio remained teammates through the 2014 season before the triumvirate began to come undone.
Ramirez departed for the Boston Red Sox via free agency, and in May 2015 the Dodgers traded Juan Uribe to the Atlanta Braves. Beyond Ramirez and Uribe, Puig has also formed a close bond with Adrian Gonzalez.
During a recent interview in which he covered goals for this season and growing as a player, Puig thanked Gonzalez for the mentorship he’s provided, via MLB.
