Yasiel Puig is Wearing His Reds Flip Flops at an Indians Presser
By Max Scoli
Yasiel Puig is not off to a good start with the Cleveland Indians organization.
First he spells "Cleveland" wrong in his failed attempt at a self-welcome post on Instagram, and now he has been spotted wearing his old Cincinnati Reds flip flops at an Indians press conference. Get it together Puig!

It's hard to tell if the former MLB All-Star doesn't care, or if he simply just didn't realize the mistake. He might honestly still think he is on the Reds the way he participated in a team brawl AFTER he was traded, resulting in a three-game suspension.
Amir Garrett went at the Pirates all alone, Yasiel Puig still came to his defense after being traded to Cleveland ?

Puig continues to make headlines, albeit scarcely for his performance on the field. At least he's still wearing the flip flops of an in-state club, he just happened to get the team wrong!
On the year Puig has clubbed 22 homers and driven in 61 RBI and swiped 15 bags. Hopefully he can step in and contribute from the get-go and allow fans to forget about his mistake-riddled entrance to the club.
