RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. — It was a whirlwind of a week for Gavin Lux, the Dodgers No. 11 ranked prospect (No. 8 on Dustin’s revised Midseason Top 30 list). The 20-year old infielder was included in much of the trade rumors that were swirling before the Dodgers sent five prospects to Baltimore in exchange for Manny Machado on July 18.
It’s no surprise that Baltimore was interested in Lux, because he’s been a productive hitter at the top of the order for the High-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in a breakout season.
