Dodgers To Sign Yasel Puig
The Dodgers have a history of signing and developing impact players from
Latin America, but their once-impressive methods of acquiring talent faded
under the ownership of Frank McCourt. Now they appear to be back at it. The
Dodgers have agreed to sign 21-year-old outfielder Yasel Puig to a multiyear
deal worth more than $40MM, MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez reports.
The Dodgers, now under the ownership of Guggenheim Sports Management, had
publicly stated their intention to bid aggressively on the best available
Latin American players. Puig, a 6'3" outfielder from Cuba, fits the
description. He agrees to terms two days after being granted free agency and
four days before baseball's collective bargaining agreement imposes spending
restrictions on teams. Starting July 2, teams will work with a $2.9MM annual
budget for international prospects.
Agent Jaime Torres represents Puig, who appears to be in line for a record
contract. The outfielder has two seasons of experience in Cuba’s Serie
Nacional. He’s more polished than Jorge Soler of the Cubs but less seasoned
than Yoenis Cespedes of the Athletics, according to Sanchez. The Cubs and
White Sox both appear to have expressed interest in signing Puig.
Reports on Puig have been modest, Ben Badler of Baseball America reported
this week. Teams are working off of limited information, as most scouts
haven't seen much of the prospect since last summer.
