Free-agent outfielder Yasiel Puig didn't play in 2020 but is already drawing interest from teams after announcing this week that he had signed with agent Rachel Luba of Luba Sports. The Astros, Orioles and Red Sox are among the teams that are interested in Puig, according to sources. Puig signed with the Braves in mid-July, but a positive COVID-19 test caused the deal to fall through. He slashed .267/.327/.458 with 24 home runs and 84 RBI in 149 games with the Reds and Indians in 2019. Multiple executives think the Cuban outfielder will land an incentive-laden major league deal this winter. The 29-year-old is all set to play in 2021, and although some fantasy managers may be hesitant to take the polarizing player, Puig could be a nice late-round flier, depending on where he lands and how much playing time he'll receive with his next team.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
