I wouldn't count out Puig either, but I don't necessarily want him. He's a head case and seems to cause trouble in the clubhouse. I heard a rumor that Kershaw told the front office that he'd like to see Puig run out of town. Maybe BS, but interesting BS.
Puig has a ton of talent and might be able to concentrate better in a smaller city than LA, but I doubt the Reds are looking at taking on his salary. Unless the Dodgers were willing to pick up a huge chunk of it, I don't think he fits the goal of getting cheap major league ready prospects.
