Dodgers Trade Gavin Lux to Reds

The Cincinnati Reds have acquired infielder Gavin Lux from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a trade that includes outfield prospect Mike Sirota and a competitive balance draft pick. Lux, a former top prospect, missed the entire 2023 season due to an ACL injury but returned to hit .251 with a career-high 10 home runs last season. The Reds intend to keep Lux for the 2025 season as a potential replacement for Jonathan India, who was recently traded. The Dodgers signed Hyeseong Kim, prompting the move of Lux, who has a career batting average of .252 and offers versatility with experience at second base and shortstop. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers traded pitcher Owen White to the Reds for cash considerations, as White struggled to find a consistent role at the major league level after being a former top prospect. The Reds are reshaping their roster with these trades to enhance their competitiveness going forward.
