Local media, including MLB.COM and ESPN, rushed to report on the LA Dodgers' trade.

It is about sending Gavin Lux, the main second baseman, to Cincinnati and receiving the nomination rights with minor league prospect Sirota.

[MLB Commentary] (Cirota) has 20-20 potential, and he can play great as a center fielder. It has the ability to read the ball and excellent base running ability.

With Lux, who was expected to be in charge of the Dodgers' infield along with former MVP Mookie Betts, being traded, local media are paying attention to Kim Hye-sung.

MLB.COM analyzed that Kim Hye-sung was initially expected to play a "utility role" between second and shortstop, but is now likely to play steadily at second base.

ESPN also pointed out that Kim Hye-sung is expected to be the main second baseman, and he has excellent defense and plays a much more aggressive base than Lux.

Of course, the Dodgers infield has many outstanding competitors including Edman, Rojas, and Taylor besides Lux, but many say Kim Hye-sung is far ahead in running ability.

's 'defending champion'.

It is also expected that Lee Jung-hoo, his best friend who plays for San Francisco in the same western district, will face off with the opposing team 'lead off'.
