Fate of Yasiel Puig
Yasiel Puig - mega-talented right fielder of the Los Angeles
Dodgers - and as of this writing and finishing of this painting may be destined
to leave the Dodgers in s trade. Here
are a couple of links to other sites that write about the rumors more clearly
than I ever could - as I am a sports artist and
not a writer. I only try to provide a little background to
the paintings I paint. So if you are
interested in what may happen or want to see what people were guessing before
whatever happen, did happen, then check out these two links:Yasiel Puig Journey to US
As most of you who are reading this know that Yasiel Puig
left the island of Cuba and was smuggled into the United States with the help of people with
special interests in Miami and Cancun .
Even with outside help, by anyone's
imagination, it must have been a risky journey that few would be willing to
take. People make the trip for a variety
of reasons - but most do so for economic or political motives. And, apparently there is a lot of crazy
stories surrounding Yasiel Puig's migration to the United States . If you
are at all interested in what Yasiel Puig faced in his travels to the United States ,

Short Information about Yasiel Puig
He grew up in Cienfuegos ,
and played for the Cuban national team in the 2008 World Junior Championship,
where they won a bronze medal. He then played in the Cuban National Series, but
a failed attempt at defecting to the United States had him out for a season
as punishment. He then tried several more times to defect to Mexico (so as to get to the U.S. by land),
finally succeeding in 2012. Puig signed with the Dodgers in 2012.
