The Cincinnati Reds have acquired infielder Gavin Lux from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for a competitive balance Round A draft pick, valued at around $2.5 million, and outfielder Mike Sirota, a third-round pick in 2024. Lux, 27, brings a left-handed bat to the Reds, who are looking to improve their standing in the National League Central. Despite a challenging start to 2024 following an ACL injury, Lux hit .304/.390/.508 in the second half, contributing two wins above replacement in 61 games. His versatility, having played 45 games in the outfield, adds depth to the Reds’ infield, which already includes players like Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain. Lux is expected to earn slightly over $3 million in arbitration this year and will be a free agent after the 2026 season. The Dodgers, meanwhile, benefit from the draft pick, helping to offset their penalty for exceeding the luxury tax threshold by over $40 million, which moved their first-round pick from 30th to 40th.
