Similar to December 2014, the Los Angeles Dodgers saw a significant roster shakeup through a seven-player trade with the Cincinnati Reds. As recent weeks of speculation suggested, Yasiel Puig was among those included in the deal.
He was mentioned in trade rumors on countless occasions over the past few years but this winter brought about a bit of a different feeling. Puig is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time in his career and due to reach free agency a year from now.
He was projected to earn $11.3 million next season, the highest figure of any Dodgers player who is arbitration-eligible.
