Friedman says the team will look to restore some depth lost because of Lux’s season-ending knee injury, but making a trade at this time of the season is usually difficult.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Andrew Friedman’s phone got very busy in the aftermath of Gavin Lux’s season-ending knee injury earlier this week.
“Depth is always something that we talk about. It was a big driver for us to go out and get Miguel Rojas and we feel like between him and CT that we’re in a good spot,” Friedman said. “Obviously, there’s now a layer of depth that is removed for 2023 so we’re definitely susceptible if we have another injury.Friedman’s gallows humor aside, he acknowledged that “continuing to add depth is something we have to be mindful of.
“It’s difficult. It’s not the most natural time to make a trade,” Friedman said. “So we’ll spend more time figuring out what’s possible. We’re not sure at this point and we’re trying to wrap our arms around the various profiles of a player and how it would fit. There’s been a domino effect of how guys are now going to spend time and what positions they are going to play and what that opens up and making sure our bench has the right balance.
“We’ve still got some runway left to figure that out, and we’re continuing to debate it. But we’ve got our scouts out, looking for various different profiles. We’re looking at it in the office, as well as assessing the guys we have here.”Tony Gonsolin’s breakout All-Star season last year came to an unsatisfactory conclusion when an elbow injury ended his regular season in August and limited him to 1⅓ innings in his only postseason start.
