Yasiel Puig would have preferred a trade rather than a stint in the Minor Leagues, but he says he has already been humbled by his time with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Puig on revocable waivers over the weekend.
"Watching the Dodgers being in first place, it's very difficult," Puig said. "The moment I arrived in L.A., people were crazy for me -- 50-60 thousand people [cheering] at the stadium. I got used to that amount of fans. Getting to Triple-A and not seeing as many fans is not very appealing or fun to play baseball, but this is what I have to do for my future."
Puig has been in the Minor Leagues for three weeks and he has a .375 average.
"[Playing in the minors] is something that has taught me humility, and I am very grateful," he said. "I do not know what the future will hold in the next few hours. I don't know where I will go. I don't know my fate. God only knows my destiny, and I am here to fulfill it. He gave me many opportunities, the way [the Dodgers] did, and I put myself in this situation."
