According to Jon Heyman, the San Diego Padres are among the teams interested in Yasiel Puig. What implications would his presence have on the roster?

As the San Diego Padres ramp up activities towards a 60-game, abbreviated season, they will benefit from the league implementing a universal DH a couple of years earlier than expected. And according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman, the Friars are among the handful of teams reportedly interested in free agent Yasiel Puig.

Padres fans are familiar with Puig from his days in Los Angeles, and he was part of the trade that sent Taylor Trammell to San Diego last July.
