The Dodgers traded second baseman Gavin Lux to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.
Although a trade involving Lux had been highly anticipated, the 27-year-old said he was shocked the Dodgers traded him. He learned the news on the same night of his grandfather’s 91st birthday.
“It’s initially a little bit of a shock,” Lux said Tuesday. “That’s a big deal, a lot going on, but we just said, ‘Whatever, we’re going to enjoy the night and celebrate his (grandfather’s 91st) birthday and go from there.’ We just kept on going.”
