Yasiel Puig and Hyun-Jin Ryu had a tickle fight (GIF)

You know how we know things are perfectly fine between Yasiel Puig and his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates? Because if they weren’t, I highly doubt he’d be engaging in tickle fights before the game.

A tickle fight between two grown men is the ultimate sign of friendship — right? Puig and Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu shared an intimate moment before LA took on the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. We’ve seen a lot of weird stuff over the years, but this is near the top of the list.

Remember that meeting Puig supposedly called with his teammates a couple weeks ago to ask how he could improve? The first order of business must have been more tickle fights.
