The people who smuggled Puig to Mexico are drug lords and Cuban Mafia.
They extorted Puig and his family.
Fuk them.
5 fuking times Puig tried to defect to Mexico---
And the bit about free agency and living in Mexico is a stretch....any player that defects from Cuba must seek asylum from a country-- Aroldis Chapman chose Andorra.. and was able to sign with Cincinnati for 35 million, same for Jose Abreu....who signed a 68 million dollar deal, he defected to the DR.
There is nothing special about Mexico that allowed Puig to sign his deal.... All Star Cuban ballplayers have been able to lock up great deals-- Puig, Chapman, Abreu...
Mexico just happens to be where Puig was smuggled to.
