Yasiel Puig is so excited about his participation in Toros del Este that he already knows by heart when the famous “Torolios” arrive, as well as his high desire to contribute, so that the group can get a second trophy in a row.
Puig, the enigmatic player who surprised when he joined the current monarchs in recent weeks, is only thinking of bringing his contributions so that La Romana can enjoy another crown.
“We have a great team and now I’m focused on helping him win,” said the Cuban, who has seven seasons in the major leagues but has not played in the past, despite signing a contract with the Atlanta Braves.
Having a contact with journalists yesterday through the Zoom platform, Puig underlined how strong the Dominican League is. “I’ve been told a lot about this baseball, but it’s more robust than I thought,” said the 28-year-old outfield, considered by many to be the owner of the full baseball package.
He pointed out that for a long time he wanted to come and play in the country, for various reasons that he failed, but he is happy that the Bulls made him fulfill this wish.
Conversation with 4 teams
The .277 major batsman said that at least four teams were interested in signing him, which he understands will happen at any time in the coming weeks.
He claimed that his agent, Lissette Carnet, is in constant communication with these groups, in order to obtain the best offer for him. And Puig, for several seasons as the owner of the Dodgers team, only aspires to belong to a team in which he can play every day on the field, as happened in his best years. The Cuban, a good player on the field, but considered problematic, states that he will do everything possible to improve his behavior.

He also claimed that if he does not sign for the Major League Baseball, he still does not consider himself ready to explore baseball in Japan. “Maybe in a few years when I see that I no longer have the talent to play in the big leagues,” he said.
