Earlier this year, former Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig expressed a desire to once again play for the Dodgers one day. For now, the Wild Horse is playing baseball for the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO (Korea). Puig signed a one-year, $1M contract in early December. $1M is the max salary a foreign player can receive in the KBO.
Puig officially arrived in Korea on Wednesday to plenty of buzz. In the video, there’s a plethora of photographers snapping photos of the one-time All-Star. His agent, Lisette Carnet, also announced his arrival in a social media post.
