The Los Angeles Dodgers may have a suitor for Yasiel Puig.
According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the Chicago White Sox are in on Puig, and there has even been talk within the industry of a trade for James Shields.
The White Sox want Yasiel Puig if they make a deal with the Dodgers.

The White Sox have fervently denied these reports.
The #Whitesox insist they are not having any trade talks with #Dodgers involving Yasiel Puig

Whatever the case, Puig is definitely available. The fact that the Dodgers have already acquired an outfielder on Monday could accelerate Puig’s departure.
