Report: Yasiel Puig signs with Atlanta Braves

The Yasiel Puig show is headed to Atlanta.

Puig, the 29-year-old polarizing outfielder, is joining the Atlanta Braves, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, as they try separate themselves in the competitive NL East. Puig was the last notable free agent on the market.

We mostly know Puig in Dodger blue, having spent his first six seasons in L.A. after being signed out of Cuba, but last year, he split time with the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians. A preseason trade sent him to the rebuilding Reds and the Indians were hoping to get a trade-deadline boost out of Puig as they chased the Twins in the AL Central.
