There are sad weeks, even in the life of a star. This was one of those weeks for Yasiel Puig, the Los Angeles Dodgers' emotional, entertaining All-Star. At least it was according to his Instagram.

After weeks of birthday celebrations, video game covers, FIFA tournaments and bae-posing, Puig spent these last seven days getting reflective. He had no choice, as the Dodgers completely remade their roster at the MLB Winter Meetings. Most notably, new Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman traded starting outfielder Matt Kemp, starting second baseman Dee Gordon and starting pitcher Dan Haren. He let starting shortstop Hanley Ramirez walk in free agency (he signed with the Red Sox) and released relief pitcher Brian Wilson. Overall, Friedman has made 12 trades involving 32 players in the past seven weeks, according to TueBlueLA (SB Nation). Put it simply, Puig has some new friends to make.

"Best of luck on their new teams to these 4 Allstars," Puig wrote on Instagram below a collage of dearly departed Kemp, Ramirez, Haren and Gordon. "We shared a lot of winning moments together and had fun doing it. I'm proud to have been your teammate in LA."

Then Puig hilariously penned a tribute to former teammates Tim Federowicz and Drew Butera by making a collage of their pictures outlined on a FedEx package. Federowicz was traded to the San Diego Padres with Kemp, while Butera was shipped to the Angels, according to the LA Times.

A FedEx package. Long live you, Yasiel.

Puig seemed to get over the departures rather quickly, though. He doesn't have time to dwell. He has a life to live. And that life seems to routinely involve trips to lavish penthouses with wall-sized windows, where Puig can feel like King of the World (or at least LA). The last two pictures Puig posted this week show him saluting the rest of us little people from such lofty perches.
