Yup. Boxy has now experienced steps 1 and 2 of the Puig experience: tantalizing display of upside and subsequent regression to his average self. Step 3 will be a DL stint (probably a hammy strain) and 4 will be behavioural issues.
He's not saying that either. He says that the fans don't like Jose, and then shifts to praising the qualities he likes in the player he just gave $33M, and presumably likes on a personal level. This is manufactured outrage.
Is he being ruined? He has like a 130 wRC+ across AA and AAA. Only 8 homers last year, but he was 22 and in the upper minors. Seems to be on track to be a Martin Prado bat.
