Dodgers: One year later the Yasiel Puig trade is a massive success

One year ago today, Dodgers fans were busy prepping for another Christmas holiday when Andrew Friedman pulled off one of his biggest heists yet. The Dodgers traded Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp, Alex Wood, and Kyle Farmer away to the Reds for Homer Bailey, and two prospects named Jeter Downs and Josiah Gray.

Admittedly the deal looked a bit questionable at first. Yasiel Puig was coming off his typical 20 home run season, Matt Kemp had a revival season just a season before slugging 21 home runs, and Alex Wood followed up his breakout season with another solid season.
