Yasiel Puig

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers couldn't complete a Yasiel Puig-for-Ryan Braun trade in August. Nonetheless, they left a sense they could do so eventually.

Well, how 'bout now?

The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers are archrivals, and tensions boiled over Monday during the first game of a three-game series.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig has largely been a mystery since he made his MLB debut in 2013.

He has flashed unbelievable talent and athleticism that suggests he could be among baseball’s best to play the game. But off-the-field drama, injuries and a questionable work ethic have gotten in the way of that.

This past week, the Dodgers decided he will have to figure it out elsewhere, at least for the time being.

The team demoted him to Triple-A.

Yasiel Puig is a good baseball player.

With all the acrimony and controversy swirling around the Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder, it's easy to lose sight of that fact. But it's a fact, nonetheless.

And yet, it's been a while since results were consistently there for Puig.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig on Monday did not travel with the team to Denver for its three-game series against the Colorado Rockies, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. The series is set to begin Tuesday.
