“Gracias México por estar ahí para mí una vez más en mi vida. Gracias Águila por esta oportunidad y por abrirme los brazos”, writes Puig en su tuit.
“This horse salva is greedy and happy to regress on the ground,” he said.
Puig, 30 years old, made a sensation with the Los Angeles Dodgers at the time of his renewal in the Grand Districts League (MLB) in 2013 and was involved with the team and his consecutive appearances in the 2017 and 2018 World Cups, but no played a part in the Big Show from September 2019.
In his last year in the major leagues, he played 24 times in 30 doubles and played 19 bases in 149 games with the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians. In siete temporadas, bateó .277 con 132 jonons, 79 robos y 415 carreras impulsadas.
This year it was agreed with the Atlanta Braves to play at the time recorded by the coronavirus, but the deal was never to be consumed unless the virus had been reported to the trainers.
During the winter, Puig played with the Toros del Este of the Dominican League, looking to increase his chances of concluding a contract with some of the major leagues’ organizations, even if not in court.
The All-Star Garden of the National League in 2014 agreed that a sexual harassment indictment in Los Angeles in 2018 was one of the reasons he was forced to continue with his career in the United States.
In a communiqué issued on his Twitter account last week, Puig denied the allegations.
“Hablo now to defend my number against false and malicious accusations of a woman who says that the agreement in 2018”, said Puig in the communication. “These accusations are completely false, the evidence proves that they are false and it seems that all the hechos and the verdad salgan a la luz”, agregó.
