Since signing with the with the Los Angeles Dodgers out of Cuba, Yasiel Puig has seen plenty of ups and downs. There were times he was a major spark for the team and others instances where Puig was considered a clubhouse cancer.
The Dodgers reportedly attempted to trade Puig prior to the non-waiver deadline in 2016, and when they were unable to do so, demoted him to Triple-A Oklahoma City. That appeared to throw his future with the organization into serious jeopardy.
However, Puig bounced back in 2017 and had a career season, batting .263/.346/.487 with career highs in home runs (28), RBIs (74) and stolen bases (15) while also playing premiere defense in right field.
