Now, there is no impact on the trade. Rather, positive prospects are pouring in.

The Los Angeles Dodgers has been busy since the beginning of the new year. The Dodgers, which brought in Kim Hye-sung (27), the best second baseman of the KBO League, who challenged himself to advance to the Major League through its posting system, made a critical decision to let Gavin Lux (28), who played as the main second baseman last season, go on a trade deal in order to ensure the infielders' "traffic control."

Lux was selected by the Dodgers as the 20th overall pick in the first round in the 2016 MLB Rookie Draft and made his big league debut in 2019 wearing the Dodgers uniform. Lux, who accumulated experience by playing 102 games in 2021 with a .242 seven home runs, 46 RBIs and four steals, was reborn as the Dodgers' main infielder by playing 129 games in 2022 with a .276 home run, 42 RBIs and seven steals, but he was out for the season due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in the 2023 exhibition game.먹튀검증

After returning as the Dodgers' second baseman last year, Lux had a batting average of .251 with 10 homers, 50 RBIs and five steals in 139 games, and was considered the most likely candidate for the starting second baseman this year, but the Dodgers decided to let Lux go in a trade. Now, Lux will leave the Dodgers and start anew with the Cincinnati Reds.

Now, Lux is looking completely free from the shock of the trade. On his recent appearance on "MLB Network," he talked positively about his relationship with Dodgers President Andrew Friedman and his opportunities in Cincinnati.
"Me and President Friedman have a really good relationship. We've been together for nine to 10 years," Lux said. "Of course, I don't know the details. I don't know who else was in the trade talks, but I agree with that decision. I think Cincinnati is a really good place for me to go. I can get a good chance to play and help young players," he said, explaining that he understands the Dodgers' choice.

Dodger Blue, which specializes in the news of the Dodgers, predicted on the 18th (Korea Standard Time) that "the Dodgers tried to organize resources overlapped with shortstop and second baseman by recruiting Kim Hye-sung," pointing out why the Dodgers used Lux as a trade card, saying, "It is a change that Lux will have more opportunities," and that it will be a blessing in disguise for Lux individuals through trade.

The Cincinnati Reds successfully acquired Brady Singer, a right-handed starting pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, by using Jonathan India, who played as its main second baseman during this offseason. On top of that, the team plans to fill India's void by bringing in Lux through a trade with the Dodgers. The Major League's official website (MLB.com ) also lists Lux as the No. 1 main second baseman in Cincinnati's depth chart.

"Lux will be able to get rid of the burden of proving every day, unlike when he was playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers," Dodger Blue added. Lux had been drawing attention as a top prospect since the Dodgers drafted him in the first round of the rookie draft, and he has not shown as much growth as expected, drawing criticism. However, he is now free from the pressure after getting out of the noisy LA. As a result, the prospect that Lux's trade with Cincinnati will be a major turning point in his baseball career is gaining convincing power.
