The Three-Way Trevor Bauer Trade Looks Pretty Good For Everyone

Yasiel Puig Involved In Massive Reds Brawl Within Moments Of Being Traded To Indians
Literally as I was hitting publish on a blog about Trevor Bauer being fined for a meltdown, and how it might’ve been his final act as a member of the Cleveland Indians, Bauer was traded by the Cleveland Indians. I did that! Sadly, Bauer was not traded to the New York Mets. Even more sadly, he was tr...
Yasiel Puig Starts Very Uncommon Double Play With Very Badass Throw
Harrison Bader of the St. Louis Cardinals is really, really fast, but that speed certainly does not give him license to behave in a disrespectful manner!

Madison Bumgarner And Yasiel Puig Are Making Their Long-Distance Hatred For One Another Still Work
It hasn’t been easy for Madison Bumgarner and Yasiel Puig to continue hating each other as fiercely as they once did now that Puig has moved away to the Midwest.

Yasiel Puig Goof Becomes Yasiel Puig Highlight Via One Bazooka Outfield Assist
When Freddie Freeman saw his third-inning liner to right-center squirt away from the glove of Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig and toward the warning track Thursday night, he made the perfectly sensible decision to chug his way to second base.
