Yasiel Puig has taken the MLB by storm, but after a couple of missteps the Cuban star is walking a fine line between arrogance and talent and now his interpreter has been reprimanded for trying to get a woman's phone number for the star.

According to Hardball Talk, his interpreter is accused of going into the stands to get a woman's phone number and the man was later reprimanded by security in Phoenix for doing so. Sources told ESPN that it was not the first time it has been done and clearly it wasn't the first for the majors, as A-Rod was caught doing that in the playoffs last year.

Puig has been amazing since coming up to the majors, even though incidents Miguel Montero and Luis Gonzalez have come up and some have called him arrogant. Puig has been excellent, hitting four home runs and 10 RBIs in his first five games, although he missed out on the All-Star vote to Freddie Freeman.

"Puig's interpreter was reprimanded by stadium security [in Phoenix] for trying to get a woman's phone number for Puig. Not the first such occurrence a source told ESPN," Gomez reported.
