Los Angeles Dodgers: Reliving our favorite Yasiel Puig moments

The Los Angeles Dodgers shocked the baseball world with a massive trade that saw some familiar faces get traded to the Cincinnati Reds.

After weeks of speculation, theLos Angeles Dodgersfinally made the first big move of the offseason and boy, was it a sad one.

The Los Angeles Dodgers tradedYasiel Puig,Matt Kemp,Alex WoodandKyle Farmerto the Cincinnati Reds in exchange forHomer Bailey(who was subsequently released) and two prospects.

This was nothing more than a salary dump that stocked up prospects. This move signals that the Dodgers are going to dosomethingbig, whether it is trading forCorey KluberorJ.T. Realmutoor signing superstarBryce Harper.

Somethingis going to happen. A contending team wouldn’t trade three expiring contracts in a salary dump unless it was sure that more moves were to follow.

Either way, it was saddening to see Puig, Kemp and Wood go, with Puig getting most of the love and support from the Dodgers’ faithful.

In many ways, Puig was the symbol of the end of the Frank McCourt era and, along withClayton Kershaw,Hyun-Jin RyuandKenley Jansen, was a member of the Dodgers for all six NL West titles. The Wild Horse encapsulated the kid inside all of that just wanted to be a big league player and will go down as one of the biggest fan favorites in Dodgers history.

While we understand this move is for the best, we certainly are going to miss Yasiel Puig on the Dodgers. Let’s take a walk down memory lane at our favorite Puig memories.
