Yasiel Puig let it all hang out for ESPN: The Magazine this year, and it has been a real hit with his teammates on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers outfielder posed nude and semi-nude for the magazine’s annual “Body Issue,” and the pictures were officially published this week.

Puig’s photoshoot drew some rather rave reviews, at least if his fellow Dodgers were any indication. Pedro Moura of The Athletic reported on Tuesday that somebody taped two of the photos to a dugout wall in Dodger Stadium with veteran Matt Kemp joking that the pictures were the team’s new wallpaper.

The 27-year-old Puig is definitely one of the more colorful characters in the game today, so it figures that people were going to get a kick out of them. However, this is still nowhere near as legendary of a reaction as the one that we saw when this other MLB player appeared in the “Body Issue.”
