    Agreed! Hard to know how a guy who was SMUGGLED into a country feels unless you actually went through that yourself.

    Ex-Dodger says Yasiel Puig is 'worst person I've ever seen' in baseball

    Yasiel Puig has been a controversial figure since joining MLB in 2013, and one former Dodger said Thursday that Puig possesses one trait that's incomparable with anyone else who has ever played the game.

    “He is the worst person I’ve ever seen in this game,” the player, who was not identified, told Scott Miller of Bleacher Report. “Ever.”

    The anonymous ex-Dodger was talking about Puig's personality, which has come under fire in recent seasons as the Cuban sensation has struggled to adapt to an LA lifestyle. It wasn't specified whether the player was once a teammate of Puig's.

    “That’s a lot of money for a huge risk,” a former general manager said of Puig, who’s expected to earn just under $20 million over the next three seasons. “There’s such a huge downside. He’s a problem. He’s a distraction. He’s selfish. He’s not going to play if he doesn’t feel like it. He’s got his money.

    “You’re taking on a whole series of problems.”

    After flashing the potential that made him one of the most sought-after foreign players since Miguel Cabrera in his first two seasons, Puig crashed back to earth last season. The 25-year-old outfielder had a career-worst .255/.322/.436 slash line with 11 home runs and 38 RBIs in just 79 games.

    The Dodgers have shown interest in several young pitchers this offseason, so trading Puig could be in their plans if they can find a buyer.

    “I guarantee you they’re trying to get rid of him,” one source with a rival club told Bleacher Report. “There’s no question he’s a problem. In my mind, he’s a problem anywhere he goes.

    meanwhile, chapman sits in limbo, perhaps wondering "what would ruben carter do?"

    No evidence Puig was physical with sister
    by Matthew Moreno | Dodger Blue — 12 minutes ago

    Major League Baseball is currently in the midst of investigating Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman, Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig over alleged domestic violence incidents.

    Of the three, only Reyes was arrested; on Oct. 31 in Hawaii, the night of the alleged dispute.

    Chapman’s alleged domestic incident occurred on Oct. 30 and involves him firing eight gunshots in his garage and putting his hands around his girlfriend’s neck.

    While Puig made headlines for an altercation with a bouncer outside a Miami bar — Puig claimed he acted out of self defense — the scuffle began after Puig reportedly got physical with his sister.

    However, MLB hasn’t found evidence to back that claim, via Bill Shaikin of the LA Times:

    "At this point, MLB investigators have found no evidence to support the claim that Puig hit his sister during an incident at a Miami bar last month, according to a person familiar with the probe but not authorized to discuss it publicly. However, the person said, because the investigation has not concluded, the league is not in a position to clear Puig publicly before the Cuba tour begins Tuesday."​

    Despite the ongoing investigation and hesitation to publicly clear Puig, he remains on track to participate MLB’s tour of his native Cuba:

    "Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig is expected to join a goodwill tour of Cuba this week, even as Major League Baseball officials continue to investigate allegations of domestic violence against him."​

    Puig will be joined by teammate Clayton Kershaw on the tour, along with a handful of other MLB players. The trip will mark Puig’s first return to Cuba since he defected from the island in 2012.​

    Thank goodness. Incest would be worse than Pete Rose telling a lie while applying for reinstatement.
