Yasiel Puig: A timeline of the former Dodgers star's illegal gambling trial

Yasiel Puig is accused of illegal betting. He will go on trial on January 10th. Puy played for the Los Angeles Dodgers for 7 seasons. In December 2021, he signed with the Kiwom Heroes of the South Korean Pro League. He could face up to 5 years in prison if convicted. It is illegal for pro baseball players to bet on sports. The player was born in Cuba. His first season with Dodgers was successful, but he had a career-worst season in 2015. After injuries, the Dodgers traded him to the Cincinnati Reds.

Yasiel Puig will not plead guilty to a charge of lying to federal investigators about his involvement in an illegal gambling operation.

Yasiel Puig's career is in shambles. He was meant to be one of the newest and brightest stars when he joined the MLB. His conduct since then has rendered him virtually untouchable by any team.
