[September 01, 2016]  Aug 31 (The Sports Xchange) - Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig will be staying with the organization after being claimed off revocable trade waivers by an unknown team, according to reports Wednesday.

 

The unknown team that claimed Puig on Tuesday was more interested in blocking him from going to another team than in trading for him, a league source told ESPN's Jim Bowden.

The Indians completed the trade for the switch-hitting Crisp after reports of the deal were reported Tuesday night. Crisp was not in the Athletics' starting lineup Tuesday and he left the Oakland clubhouse at Minute Maid Field in Houston about an hour before the start of the game.
