It’s no secret that his teammates are sick of him. There are multiple reports of chaos in the Dodgers clubhouse and all fingers are pointed at one player, Yasiel Puig.

Puig is a very good player and is considered to be one of the top talents in baseball, but everyone seems to agree that his attitude absolutely sucks.

An anonymous teammate recently talked to Yahoo Sports about the Puig problem:

“We’ve talked about this, at this point, it would be addition by subtraction.”

It has also been reported that Puig and Zack Greinke almost got into a fistfight after Greinke tossed Puig’s suitcase onto Michigan Avenue after an issue on the team bus during a visit to Chicago (NY Post).

This was supposedly not Puig’s first altercation with Greinke.

Puig has had a bad attitude ever since his MLB debut. He has constantly argued with umpires, coaches and teammates. He seems to have no control over his anger and the Dodgers do not seem equipped to handle him.

There is one team that could handle him though, the Chicago White Sox.

Here’s why:

Captain Class Would Be His Teammate/Mentor

Jose Abreu and Puig share the same homeland, Cuba. They both came from similar situations in an impoverished country in the 1990’s and both defected to America to play baseball. We featured an article discussing Abreu’s difficult life in Cuba, his daring escape/defection as well as his inspiring journey to the MLB (Sports Mockery).

Players that defect from Cuba have faced poverty and adversity. They all handle it in different ways.

Yoenis Cespedes defected from Cuba, came to the MLB and bought a Lamborghini that shoots flames.

While Puig has been quick to anger and is always trying to get in a fight with the world, Abreu has handled his life with great appreciation, respect and class.

Abreu always has a big smile on his face and is respected and loved by his teammates. He is very thankful for his new life in America.

Abreu is older and wiser than Puig and could potentially be great influence on him.

A (Future) Manager That Can Handle Crazy

Ozzie Guillen is not the current manager of the White Sox, Robin Ventura is. Ventura is on his way out though, there is no way that the White Sox will retain his services. Guillen needs a new gig and it’s fairly apparent that he would jump at the opportunity to manage in Chicago again. He obviously had a lot of success here and ownership has an affinity for ex players and former managers.

Guillen would be the perfect man to handle Puig as crazy can handle crazy. Ozzie took Carlos Zambrano under his wing in Florida and while he was not that strong of a pitcher for the Marlins, he basically behaved.

Ozzie can handle crazy players.

The Sox could also bring in Jose Contreras and Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez as team advisers. These two gentleman are Cuban baseball heroes that would definitely have a positive influence on Puig.

The Sox History Of Misfits

The Sox have a history of bringing in problem players and making it work. Remember Albert Belle, Carl Everett, Manny Ramirez and especially AJ Pierzynski? These guys generally behaved during their time in Chicago.

The Sox seem to be equipped to handle these types of players.

A Potential Trade Could Also Work For The Dodgers

Everyone is probably wondering why the Dodgers would ever part with a talent like Puig. They are going to have to think about what is best for the team going forward. Is one talented player worth a potential clubhouse collapse during a Pennant run?

The Dodgers have a crowded outfield. Andre Ethier and Carl Crawford are basically untradable with their current contracts so the Dodgers are stuck with them. Joc Pederson is rising to stardom making their outfield crowded. Puig is expendable, especially if his teammates hate him.

The Sox would have to present an attractive trade package though. The Dodgers have needs (Dodgers Depth Chart).

The Dodgers are light in the starting pitching department. They lost Josh Beckett to retirement, Dan Haren to free agency and Brandon McCarthy and Hyun-Jin Ryu to season ending injuries.

Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke are great, but there is not a lot behind them. The Sox are going to be looking to trade Jeff Samardzija. They’d probably have to throw in Jose Quintana and prospects in order to get the deal moving.

The Sox traded Jim Thome to the Dodgers as a pinch hitting specialist in 2009, perhaps Adam LaRoche could be an attractive option.

The asking price for Puig would be very high, but it is also contingent on how much of a problem he actually is in LA. Addition by subtraction?

The Dodgers will be getting desperate as the San Francisco Giants are right behind them in the division standings and we all know what happens when they get into the postseason.

A Yasiel Puig trade could work for all sides.
