I don't hate Puig at all. I think he's a cool guy.

I just hate the pose they went with. I know someone posted that Daniel Bryan thing as a joke, but it really does look remind me of Chris Jericho or something... He's not a WWE wrestler, he's a baseball player. How about a cover that shows him... you know... playing baseball?

I'm obviously kidding, but it is a controversial choice.

I agree with the folks saying it should've been Tony Gwynn. He personified class on and off the field.

Really? Thats the only thing and the point youre standing by? the guy isnt swinging or fielding a ball but obviously celebrating something related? Cool. Thats awesome. I personally dont hate the guy or care what hes doing. Im glad its not him sitting in a truck getting drunk.

Maybe picking Vin Scully for the cover would have been safer

Now that's a cover!

Neither?
Just kidding lol Would have been great to have an Indian ManRam cover

[GruffyMcGuiness]

Oscar Taveras would have been a good option I think.

It wouldn't be so bad if Puig wouldn't be all over the menus...

[Nexgenrulz]

Should have been Corey Kluber or Michael Brantley.

Very well could be, i'm pretty sure in previous versions, if a player had nike on any of their gear on the cover, they'd remove it

Ex. No Nike sign on Cutch's gloves



Ex. No Nike sign on Lawrie's gloves



And Lawrie and Cutch both wear nike gloves, and those are clearly Nike gloves with the logo removed.

So it's very possible this year, unless it was just an oversight by whoever made the cover.

I wouldn't worry about how the cover will look next year. They did a similar thing with Cabrera last year; showing the back of his jersey when they first announced who would be on the cover. I'm sure we'll get a better version with some kind of baseball related activity.

Additionally, I think Puig is a logical choice and I'm not surprised by it at all. Remember all the pre-release things he did last year with 14?

Although, I think a Gwynn, Heyward, or Taveras cover could be in my future.
