Gavin Lux reacts to Will Smith's Dodgers' Spring Training recap

Gavin Lux is no longer a Dodger, but he makes sure to connect with his former teammates through social media.

On Monday, LA Dodgers catcher Will Smith dropped a photo montage from his spring training preparations. The images included him practicing at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona. He was joined by his wife, Cara, and their two daughters, Charlotte and Layton. In one of the snaps, Charlotte can be seen throwing a baseball to her dad.

However, it wasn’t long before Lux jumped into the conversation, dropping just a single peach emoji "(🍑)" in the comments.

While the exact meaning behind Lux’s emoji remains a mystery, fans immediately took notice. Some speculated it was an inside joke between the teammates, while others humorously debated whether Lux was hinting at a preference for the Grapefruit League (Florida's spring training counterpart).

One fan jokingly replied:

"Ain’t no way bruh."

Another added:

"Players may leave, but the zest never does 🤘🏼."

Earlier this offseason, the Dodgers traded Gavin Lux to the Cincinnati Reds for Mike Sirota and a competitive balance pick in the 2025 MLB draft.
