The Cincinnati Reds acquired infielder Gavin Lux from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for outfield prospect Mike Sirota and a competitive balance round A draft pick, the teams announced.
Lux, 27, hit .251/.320/.383 with 10 home runs and 50 RBIs across 139 games with the Dodgers last season. Due to his struggles against left-handers, he was primarily deployed at second base against right-handed pitching as part of a platoon. He was their primary starter at the keystone during the postseason and had a key at-bat in their World Series-clinching win at Yankee Stadium.
