GOODYEAR, Ariz. —
Gavin Lux needed to get away last fall. The Dodgers won the World Series and that was a thrill, but 2020 was frustrating on a personal level. He began the season as the top-ranked prospect in the Dodgers’ loaded farm system and a National League rookie of the year favorite. There was so much hype and promise in February. By October there was disappointment.
So he went home to Wisconsin, where he saw friends and family for the first time in months, before traveling back to Los Angeles for the remainder of the offseason.
