Baseball fans north of the border got to witness a Yasiel Puig web gem on Canadian turf last night . Puig robbed Toronto Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia of extra bases. Not a bad play for a guy who was starting only his second game in centre field at the major league level. Puig looks more and more like Bo Jackson with each and every play.

Yasiel Puig lets loose by cutting a rug in the dugout as his Dodgers were on the verge of a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. Puig does his best staying alive rendition before giving team-mate Hyun-jin Ryu a noogie. In an era black marked with steroid scandals, Puig is a breath of fresh air, what is not to love about the kid.

This was on Friday night at Nationals Park. I saw it live but didn’t realize what a cannon shot it was. It was obviously a blown call by the umpire.
What has Yasiel Puig done so far this evening, you ask? Oh, just this RIDICULOUS throw: https://t.co/XOV1XGxbUH #Dodgers #Nationals

Yasiel Puig has generated a lot of love, because he’s fun, and a lot of hate, because he’s fun (and he can be a dick), so he decided to summarize it all of us in one plate appearance tonight.
Puig jumps for exercise.
A relatively normal reaction from him. Umpire called it as Master Puig wanted it.
I have no idea.

Not sure this is what you want to see your franchise’s most important player do in a 14-5 game in the 8th inning, but good on Puig for making this play and making it look easy.

The Dodgers were down to their final out tonight when Andre Ethier hit a sinking liner to center fielder Colby Rasmus. The ball skipped off the Toronto turf and rolled a ways, allowing Yasiel Puig to scamper home and tie the game at 3-3 off Blue Jays closer Casey Jannsen.
The Dodgers would score five more runs in the top of the 10th inning to win the game 8-3. The crowning moment...

What better way to celebrate an five-run lead in the bottom of the tenth inning than doing a little boogie with a brotherly show of affection on your teammate —the infamous noogie.
That's exactly what the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig did last night during the waning moments of a game against the Blue Jays.
Puig did the dugout hip-shake then walks over to Hyun-Jin Ryu and gives...

When the Los Angeles Dodgers gave Matt Kemp an eight year, $160 million contract extension in November of 2011, most thought it was a solid investment. Two seasons later the team has to be wondering if it grossly overpaid. It’s not because of his play, but because he’s not on the

Given the success of recent Cuban defectors Yasiel Puig and Yoenis Cespedes (and our boy Jose Iglesias!), there is increased focus on Cuban-born players. The most recent player of interest, starting pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez, has been pursued by seemingly every team in baseball, although the market is starting to focus a bit.
The team rumored to be most aggressive on Gonzalez...
