Dodgers Rumors: Possible Trade Packages for Yasiel Puig
By Jason Reed
Yasiel Puig, whether you love him or hate him, is the most polarizing figure on the Los Angeles Dodgers. The most common Dodgers rumors revolving around Puig is whether or not he will be dealt.
Before I get started, I just want to say I am a big fan of Yasiel Puig. There are a lot of Dodger fans that hate Puig, and just as many who love him – which I am part of. Puig has frustrated me, confused me, and downright upset me; but he has also excited me, relieved me, and had hyped me. Bottom line is that Puig plays this part that causes us fans to have very strong feelings about him, whichever side of the fence they land on.
Because of this, Yasiel Puig trade rumors have perhaps been the most prevalent Dodger rumors of the past few seasons. Every year, starting around this time up until the trade deadline, us fans are always left wondering if Puig will still be a Dodger. This year is no different, as two weeks in here we are discussing this possibility once more.
I am not a huge advocate in dealing Puig, I think he has great value to the Dodgers and has played very well to this point in the year. Granted, he has had these good spurts before only to flare out, but he looks much more mature, much more determined.
However, if the price is right the Dodgers should have no hesitation in dealing Yasiel Puig. I support almost every deal the Dodgers make, so long as it increases the team’s chances in winning it all.
Therefore, with that being said, here are three trade packages the Dodgers could receive for Yasiel Puig.
