Puig, nicknamed “The Wild Horse,” spent a majority of his career with the Dodgers where he holds the title of all-time leader in postseason appearances with 58. In 2018, he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds where he played for only a quarter of a season before being traded in a three-team transaction, resulting in Puig going to Cleveland.
