He was ranked second among active shortstops for defensive runs saved with 15 last season with the Miami Marlins. Only Jeremy Pena of the Houston Astros had more.Dave Randall@DaveRandall101@FabianArdaya @Ken_Rosenthal A reacquiring...@FabianArdaya @Ken_Rosenthal A reacquiring...Kblack42@Kblack42@FabianArdaya Well, this proves those wrong that believe FO thought Lux could handle SS.@FabianArdaya Well, this proves those wrong that believe FO thought Lux could handle SS.Danny@southdownunder@FabianArdaya @CamIsMoney18 i actually really like this — Low risk high reward.

Great defender.Gary Goss@ggoss729@CraigMish Whoa!@CraigMish Whoa!They understand that they can't replace Trea Turner at the moment. Rojas isn't close to the player that Turner is, but he does have a better glove. The team has enough bats to pick up any offensive slack that Rojas may provide.After trading with the Miami Marlins, the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking a little more completeDivision Series - San Diego Padres v Los Angeles Dodgers - Game OneThe Dodgers have a pretty solid roster with some good depth pieces. It's still unclear on who the team's Opening Day shortstop will be, though. Many around the league are assuming Gavin Lux will be the team's starting shortstop while Miguel Rojas will accept a utility role.A team can never have enough utility players. They already have Max Muncy, who can play multiple infield positions for the Los Angeles Dodgers.During his time with the Miami Marlins, Rojas has played first, second, third base, and shortstop. He's the definition of a utility player.They could use another outfielder before the 2023 season starts. The team parted ways with a struggling Cody Bellinger at the end of the season. There's not much left in terms of free-agent outfielders that would move the needle that is still left on the board.Watch for the Dodgers to engage in another trade for an outfielder before the season begins.
