Thread: Puig ?Castellanos ? Trade Benny and Mookie

  1. #31
    Puig was run out of LA, a place where fans could give two shits about baseball, but they show up. No major scrutiny. He got himself run out of Cincy for being an idiot. Cleveland has zero interest in resigning him. Puig is gonna find a limited market, one that’ll likely require a pillow deal

    I seriously doubt his teammates had no issues with his antics & attitude.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    I like Puig, but I prefer watching him on other teams and thinking its funny, I don't necessarily want to watch those issues on the Red Sox
    Outside of liking Puig, I completely agree.

    One of the last things we should be doing is trading our young, inexpensive, and very good players.

    I think Puig is an amazing talent. But multiple Dodgers including Kershaw and Scott Van Slyke once campaigned management to unload him...

    I'm sure he is an amazing talent. That talent does not excuse being a clubhouse cancer.

    The problem I have with amazing talents is that eventually they have to translate that talent into production. Puig has the quickest bat, the most power, the best arm and runs like a deer. Why is he a circa .800OPS player who has put up only 7 WAR in the last 4 seasons? because he either doesn't care or isn't dedicated or both
    Hal sucks

    100 million dollar talent and a ten cent head!

    Wasn’t he demoted to the minors for being apathetic?

    It's all good. A couple of teammates liked him.

    He was demoted, not sure what the reason was. Poor play? Which was probably due to being apathetic.

    I think I would listen to either of them about Puig over anyone on this board. They KNOW the guy...
