This 12 months represented the primary probability for Lux to assert the beginning shortstop job.
Though he’ll get one other probability in 2024, it nonetheless hurts him.
He had been a backup participant for a lot of his profession and was lastly given the chance to assert an on a regular basis position, till the harm occurred.
Everybody across the baseball world, together with followers, gamers, coaches and members of the media really feel sorry for Lux, and it is laborious to not really feel sorry for him after this incident.
Let’s hope he recovers nicely and is prepared for 2024.
The Dodgers have Chris Taylor, who they might plug in at shortstop.
Miguel Rojas can also be an possibility.
We may see the Dodgers probably diving again into the commerce or free agent markets.
Utilityman Jose Iglesias is unsigned, and former All-Star Paul DeJong may probably be commerce bait for the St. Louis Cardinals resolve they don’t seem to be an excellent match for him.
