Gavin Lux receiving World Series ring from Dodgers has offseason trade hitting harder

On Monday, Gavin Lux made his return to Dodger Stadium for the first time since being traded to the Reds in the offseason. He'd already seen them for a three-game series in Cincinnati in late July, but the Dodgers waited until this home series to give him the star treatment as part of last year's World Series-winning squad.

It was clear that Lux was in danger of being traded throughout the offseason, but the Dodgers signing Hyeseong Kim completely doomed him. He was sent to the Reds in January in exchange for outfield prospect Mike Sirota and a Competitive Balance pick, which they used on University of Arkansas outfielder Charles Davalan.
