Yasiel Puig arrested for reckless driving in Florida

Nevertheless, the state has dropped the case against Puig under the rationale that “speeding alone on an open highway doesn’t constitute ‘reckless driving’ and he wasn’t doing anything else to warrant a charge other than ‘speeding.’” If Puig had been convicted, he would have been sentenced to 90 days in jail, according to TMZ.

The Cuban native will enter his second year in the big leagues in 2014 after receiving a seven-year, $42 million contract last offseason. Despite his off-the-field antics and the highway speeding, there is little doubt that Puig’s future on the baseball diamond is quite bright.
