Ex-Dodger Gavin Lux embraces new role with Reds: 'You have that chip on your shoulder'
Briefly

Gavin Lux is determined to demonstrate his value as a hitter against left-handed pitchers following his trade from the Dodgers to the Cincinnati Reds. Embracing his new role, he feel motivated to erase doubts held by his former team after they signed Hyeseong Kim and deemed Lux expendable. Lux maintains a positive perspective on the trade, expressing no bitterness towards the Dodgers, while wearing a noticeable confidence in his new Reds jersey. He reflects on the importance of proving oneself in the league, particularly in the face of previous challenges.
"I think you always want to prove that you can play on the left side of the infield, you can hit lefties, whatever that chip is. Every guy has a different chip. For me, I think that's one of them."
"After that signing, you're like, 'Oh, OK, maybe there's a chance [I could get traded].'"
