A few months later, Puig was right in the middle of a fight again with the Pirates just minutes after news broke that he had been traded to the Cleveland Indians. It also shows he sometimes can let his emotions get the best of him. Like Sportscasting on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter sportscasting Home MLB. Yasiel Puig started career fast. Puig was definitely a star before everything came crashing down.
He was never a star. His rookie season in remains his best. His sophomore season in remains his 2nd best. Pitchers figured him out and he failed to adjust. The Dodgers were never gonna extend him. They poisoned that well by sending him down to the minor league in summer and traded for Josh Reddick, who performed even worse. League-average hitting, below average fielding, corner outfielder over the age of Plenty of players have gone to Mexico, completely mashed the ball, and made it back to the Major Leagues.
Not really. Every hitter rakes in Mexican League and every pitcher struggles. Plus, Puig has nothing to prove on-the-fieldt.
Never going back to a time of innocent until proven guilty and due process? Innocent until proven guilty has never existed outside of a courtroom and rarely inside of it. People have always acted emotional first and rationalized things after.
Stop romanticizing the past. Damage gets done to society as a whole, based on what information we are force fed, regardless of the truth. It is because of the sexual assault case, which is still unresolved.
Even if Puig is cleared of any wrongdoing.. Chemistry is huge. It certinaly seems like there is something going on below the surface that no one wants to talk about. Its also unique that some historically media adverse players have had things to say about him as a teammate and person. Id love for a burner account from a team or actual player to come on and talk about what the league perception is on Puig that clearly is keeping him out of all orgs.
A lot has been said about Puig over the years, including by his teammates, probably more than just about any other player, because fans and the media are transfixed by the guy and have been from the very start which is why his speeding tickets are still being talked about so many years later. Am I right? You know I am. They wanted no part of bringing him back. Kinda sad actually. He is a character and entertaining. Hard to say he was blackballed..
He isnt worth the trouble. Millionaires get sued all the time for all sorts of things and most of them settle out of court, including plenty of MLB players.
Puig is not charged criminally. Jake To be honest, since Puig has been a dumpster fire off the field. Puig ended up sitting out the entire campaign after the contract he agreed to with the Braves in late July fell through following his positive test for COVID The outfielder looks to be healthy again now that he's competing in the Dominican Republic, where he'll presumably be aiming to showcase himself to MLB teams this winter.
The year-old slashed. The reported contract between the two sides had apparently never been formally agreed to and is now off the table, as Puig evidently won't be ready to play early enough for Atlanta to be interested. There's certainly still a chance he signs somewhere this season, though the fact that he hasn't been on a field even in a practice capacity since last September means it may take some time for him to get in game shape once he eventually clears league protocols by testing negative for the virus twice.
Puig is reportedly asymptomatic, but he'll nevertheless be forced to quarantine until passing MLB protocols, which include testing negative for the virus twice. The outfielder was already going to have a tough time getting ready by Opening Day, as he only just signed a contract with the Braves on Tuesday, but now he'll almost certainly miss time to start the year. Even when he clears league protocols, the fact that he's had zero practice time since last September is sure to have an effect early in the year.
His absence likely means more at-bats or Adam Duvall, though Johan Camargo could also benefit if Austin Riley spends more time in left field. The terms of the deal have not yet been made public.
It's also unclear whether Puig will be ready to go at the start of the season, as Opening Day is just over a week away and he'll likely have to sit out a few more days to go through intake testing protocols.
Once he eventually arrives, he'll be a key piece for a strong Braves lineup, taking the spot that had been reserved for Nick Markakis, who elected to opt out of the season. The Orioles do have holes in the outfield and in most other areas of their roster , especially with Trey Mancini out for the year while undergoing treatment for colon cancer. Baltimore is a natural fit for Puig in that sense, though it's not entirely clear why they'd want to add a significant amount to their payroll in a season in which they aren't expected to be close to competitive.
If Puig does wind up with the Orioles, he'll get to play half his games in one of the more hitter-friendly parks in the league, but he may not be ready to go by Opening Day, which is less than two weeks away. San Diego…according to Elias Sports Bureau, it marked the eighth time since that a Dodger player drove in at least five runs that accounted for all the team's scoring in a game last: Eric Karros, 5 RBI in the Dodgers' win on June 18, at Colorado.
