2019 could have ended with the Indians trading Francisco Lindor and ruining the holiday season. That never happened as the hot stove appeared to cool down once the end of December arrived.
Now it appears, according to MLB Trade Rumors, that one Gavin Lux is the key piece holding up a deal that would send Lindor to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Lux is a top prospect for the Dodgers and if there is a concern about signing Lindor long-term after a potential trade, it makes sense to hold onto a young star like Lux.
