Yasiel Puig is in trouble with the Dodgers again
Yasiel Puig is in hot water with the Dodgers once again.
A week after his high-profile demotion to the minors, the former All-Star outfielder could be facing repercussions for his social media post that went viral on Tuesday.
Puig, 25, posted a series of videos of himself partying with his Oklahoma City Dodgers teammates to his Snapchat account Monday night. The video apparently didn't sit well with the Dodgers, prompting President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman to release a statement on Puig's behavior.

The three-minute NSFW video starts off with Puig and his Triple-A teammates dancing in what appears to be a clubhouse celebration following a loss. At one point, Puig laughs while saying "My team is so funny ... we lose today and everybody's happy."
The video continues throughout the night with clips of Puig and Co. drinking, dancing and yelling obscenities in what appears to be a bustling night club.
While Puig was demoted to Triple-A largely due to his struggles at the plate, it's not farfetched to think the Dodgers had hoped the move would also serve as a bit of a reality check to the former All-Star. Instead, Puig's bad off-the-field habits are now being exposed to an impressionable group of young Dodgers hopefuls.
