Dodgers: Remembering this Decade’s Most Exciting Dodger

Yasiel Puig.

A relative unknown from Cuba. A generational talent, too crazy for his own good. A playoff hero. A fan favorite. A Cincinnati Red.

We may never again get to see Puig lackadaisically track down a lazy fly ball to right at Chavez Ravine while donning Dodger blue. We may never again get to see him lick his bat as a Dodger, or ascend up the dugout steps for a curtain call as a Dodger, or wag his finger or his tongue as a Dodger.

After a career filled with numerous hills and valleys, the Los Angeles Dodgers dealt Yasiel Puig (along with Alex Wood, Matt Kemp, and Kyle Farmer) to the Cincinnati Reds for prospects in what ultimately was the most heartbreaking salary dump since the last Matt Kemp trade.
