When Yasiel Puig played for the Dodgers, he got a lot of labels: Cocky. Selfish. A problem. Irresponsible. Destructive. And those are just some of the ones fit to print.
Some labels that Puig never received: Post-traumatic stress disorder. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Dyschronometria.
Why didn’t Puig receive those labels? Because PTSD, ADHD, and dyschronometria are diagnoses, not just labels, and it never crossed anyone’s mind that maybe Yasiel Puig should see a doctor.
Puig opened up on social media on Wednesday, and I went a little deeper and spent 40 minutes on the phone with his agent, Lisette Carnet.
