Dodgers GM Ned Colletti on the reported clubhouse meeting between Yasiel Puig and the Dodgers…
“He called it,” Colletti said on SiriusXM. “He wanted to know how he can get better and some of our veteran guys stood up and told him. And they told him how much they love him and how much they want him on the team and like having him here. But here are a couple of things … that we’d like you to be more focused on, get better at.”

“He’s (Puig) a young guy with maybe two or three months of minor-league experience and there’s still a learning curve,” Colletti said Sunday. “And because he is so good at so many things and he’s got the persona that draws the light to him on every at-bat or every ball hit to right field or every throw that he makes, everything is examined tighter.
“But I think that there has been maturity that has come along. … And I think it continues to be part of the process. But he sought it out the other day. He asked the question. He was searching for his peers to tell him what they thought he needed to do to get better and they did. So I see that as a good sign.”
