The Dodgers' decision to trade Gavin Lux appears to enhance their roster's 'optionality,' creating a more flexible lineup for the upcoming season.
By trading Lux, the Dodgers sacrifice some offensive upside but gain a roster that can mix and match players, offering greater versatility.
The acquisition of Hyeseong Kim limited how the Dodgers could utilize their versatile roster, making Lux expendable despite his recent improvements.
With key positions still filled, the Dodgers now have the freedom to experiment with lineup configurations in the middle infield.
