According to the Orange County Register, Puig was notified Tuesday he would be fined $5,000 if he continues to wear the cleats, which do not align with MLB’s official uniform policy because of the shoe's coloration.

The inner part of the shoe features an image of a microphone and “#ITFDB," an acronym for "It's time for Dodger baseball,” Scully's signature phrase he uses at the top of Dodgers broadcasts.
