The Wasserman agency announced Wednesday they "have terminated" their "professional relationship" with the Dodgers outfielder, who will earn $7.5 million in 2018. The announcement arrived in the form of a one-sentence email sent to reporters. Adam Katz, who was one of Puig's representative with the agency, declined further comment.

After a tumultuous 2016, in which the Dodgers demoted Puig and attempted to trade him, Puig bounced back in 2017. He hit a career-best 28 home runs while posting an .833 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. He re-established himself as the team's starting right fielder, a position he is expected to occupy in 2018.
