Letters: With Puig gone, Dodgers fans feeling a trade deficit

Although the Dodgers get significant credit for two consecutive World Series appearances, the recent trade makes absolutely no sense. A reasonable argument can be made that Yasiel Puig was their best outfielder. I am tired of Chris Taylor striking out all the time (178) and Cody Bellinger refusing to bunt or hit to left field. Joc Pederson hasn’t hit above .248 in his career.

Oh yes, we can try to sign Bryce Harper for $300 million, remembering that he managed to hit a thrilling .249 last year with 169 strikeouts. Perhaps our goal is to set the major league record for inability to drive in runs when our players are in scoring position.
