The Los Angeles Dodgers have so much talent that they don’t really know what to do with it all. Still, Los Angeles is as active as anybody as it pursues improvements for its roster.
Recently, the Dodgers announced the signing of international free agent Hye-Seong Kim. Kim is a versatile infielder who can play anywhere across the infield at a high level.
This signing might not put the nail in the coffin for Gavin Lux’s time in Los Angeles, but it certainly makes the 27-year-old infielder expendable. Lux slashed .251/.320/.383 with 10 home runs and 24 doubles in 2024. He’s under team control through the 2026 season.
The perfect trade match is sitting right in from of the Dodgers’ eyes, but it might not be who Dodgers fans want it to be.
To preface, the Dodgers don’t need to trade Lux. It just seems like his days are numbered given the state of the roster. And if a team like the New York Yankees is desperate enough to overpay for him, Los Angeles would be foolish to not listen to the offers.
The Yankees are desperate for an affordable infielder with experience and a solid bat. That’s exactly what Lux would give the Bronx Bombers.
The Dodgers may not want to send such a valuable infielder over to the same team they played in the World Series last year, but the Yankees would likely issue a very intriguing offer.
