<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/yasiel-puig">Yasiel Puig</a> hasn’t played a Major League Baseball game since the 2019 season, which he ended with the Guardians and Reds. Notably, <strong>Puig was also a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, just like Julio Urías, </strong>who was recently ‘forgiven’ and allowed to return to the majors.</p>



<p>According to a message Puig posted in Spanish on his personal X account, he is asking <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> for a second chance, saying, <em><strong>“I hope that one day @mlb can open opportunities for me as they have for others who have been suspended,” </strong></em>referencing his suspension, which has been one of the harshest in recent years.</p>



<p>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. <strong><em>“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,” </em></strong>he stated.</p>



<p>Finally, the former <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Dodgers</a>, Reds, and Guardians</strong> player affirmed that he will never stop seeking justice for being denied the chance to return to the majors. <em><strong>“I ask for justice to be served someday. I will never give up.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Did Julio Urías and Yasiel Puig Play Together on the Dodgers?</h2>
