According to a message Puig posted in Spanish on his personal X account, he is asking MLB for a second chance, saying, “I hope that one day @mlb can open opportunities for me as they have for others who have been suspended,” referencing his suspension, which has been one of the harshest in recent years.

The Cuban player pointed out that, despite the criticism against him, he was never suspended for actions similar to those of other players off the field. “Many will say things about me that aren’t true, but I ask them to consider one thing: I was never suspended for reasons off the field,” he stated.

Finally, the former Dodgers, Reds, and Guardians player affirmed that he will never stop seeking justice for being denied the chance to return to the majors. “I ask for justice to be served someday. I will never give up.”
