Cuban defector, Yasiel Puig

[AlohaStyle]

Saw news today about an article detailing Cuban Yasiel Puig's defection to the US to play baseball... it's a long read, but very interesting as Puig burst onto the scene last year and there are some grim details about how he came to the US. Very sad that local Cuban players do not have the incentive to stay home...

Wild story, I've not read it but have heard some details.

The story can go long, but definitely read the end...

He is an amazing player still rough around the edges. What sucks is he plays for the Dodgers and I am a D-Back fan.
