Yasiel Puig has purchased a house. It costs more than you or I could ever afford, but it’s apparently pretty modest by rich professional athlete standards.
As Variety describes it, it’s a “micro mansion” in Sherman Oaks, California. A lot of beige with relatively middle-brow finishes and flourishes. Upscale, sure, but within the upscale world, pretty cookie cutter in a cookie cutter neighborhood. The sort of place that maybe an executive or an attorney might buy with a jumbo mortgage but which represents a pretty modest and low-profile investment for a star of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Not sure what to think about this. On the one hand I’m glad he didn’t buy something crazy, because you know damn well that would inspire some “what is Puig thinking/this guy is irresponsible” chatter from the people who like to chatter at him. But on the other hand I’m sort of sad that he didn’t get a “Rockford Files"-style trailer on a beach or, say, the Chemosphere House.
