It looks like the Dodgers are ready to move on from Yasiel Puig -- if someone will take him off their hands.

The Dodgers are willing to practically give away the outfielder but they're having trouble finding a team that wants him, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe:

Despite their aggressive efforts, the Dodgers were unable to move Puig earlier this month, so the struggling slugger was sent down to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Since the demotion, Puig is hitting .419/.479/.721 with three homers in 12 games with the OKC Dodgers.

While Puig's minor-league stats suggest that he's turning the corner, maturity and character issues remain an issue, especially with teammates on the big league club.

If the Dodgers aren't able to find a suitor for Puig, he'll likely spend the rest of the year in the minors.
