Puig entered free agency at the end of the 2019 campaign and was unable to secure a contract before spring training was suspended in March, though he eventually reached a deal with the Braves in July. However, that deal quickly fell through after he tested positive for COVID-19, and his market appeared relatively quiet the rest of the season. The 30-year-old had a .267/.327/.458 slash line with 24 homers, 84 RBI and 19 stolen bases between the Indians and Reds in 2019, though his defense remained subpar despite his power arm. Coming off a lost 2020 season, Puig is a question mark for both big-league teams and fantasy managers alike, so his value and role could vary significantly depending on where he ends up.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not much interest in his services
There has been little interest in Puig's services as a free agent, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.
ANALYSIS
Puig didn't play last season and might be an interesting -- and inexpensive -- pickup for most teams, but no franchise is actively pursuing him at the moment. The Royals, Marlins and Yankees have all been connected to Puig in recent weeks, but none of them are going after him. The 30-year-old outfielder endured a mediocre 2019 season and it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to find a team with the 2021 season just around the corner.
