Dodgers value speed and defense in Kim over Lux as 9th hitter. They have other players that will provide the offense. Lux has a home run ceiling of maybe 10, average speed and slightly above average 2B. Kim is locked up for more years at a cheap price and will bring more revenue to the team from Korea as well. They made 70m from Japan sponsorships last year, so basically paid for Ohtani. Even bringing in a few million from Korea is almost an easy win for them..
Dodgers do everything right. They may have certain advantages that other clubs in smaller markets don't have, but they still make great decisions all around. Best destination for anyone in any role in baseball right now.
