The window to play in MLB is too small to fight these things in court. He needed to get back before it was too late. 100k to plaintiff and 150k to her attorneys. That’s a nice legal business, if you can get it.

I assume he will now end up on the Cuban national team in Chicago.

Paid off his accuser. What a country!

#2: it was a civil lawsuit. She never filed a police report so no arrest much less charges. We'll see if MLB suspends him.

Puig's 9.6 WAR at ages 23-24 was the most ever by a LA Dodger...until it was broken by both Corey Sager (10.5, 2016-17) and Cody Bellinger (12.8, 2018-19). (Duke Snider [11.0, 1949-50] and Pete Reiser [13.5, 1941-42] also had more WAR at those ages as Brooklyn Dodgers.)

I don’t know what happened, but why would you have a consensual sexual encounter with someone in a bathroom? Presumably, Puig has a nice house paid for with the millions of dollars he has earned from baseball. Why wouldn’t he take his hookup there?

L.A. traffic, I guess?

Anyway, not to make light of this story, but I assume Puig had a suite/skybox at the game, with a private bathroom. I don't think this happened at the trough urinal.

You say tomato I say tomato.



The reported victim said she did not know Puig, but Puig says the woman is the one who approached him.

“JANE ROE initiated communications with PUIG, both electronically and in person. She approached him, she messaged him on Instagram, sent him photos of herself, and sent him her phone number,” Puig’s attorney said in the countersuit.


Prior to filing the countersuit, Puig filed a formal response to the allegations in court. He is seeking for the claims to be dismissed.

Puig claims the woman approached him at the Lakers game after contacting him before.

“Although she now claims she was sexually assaulted, she did not make any such claims on the night in question, never made such claims to him in the months that followed, never contacted Staples Center security on that night or at any time thereafter, and never contacted the police on the night in question or any time thereafter. However, beginning in the summer of 2019, approximately eight months after the sexual encounter, she began demanding money from PUIG,” the counterclaim states.

Puig also mentioned that he's a huge Louis CK fan.
