Lowe is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, where, in 134 games, he hit .256/.307/.477 with 31 home runs, 83 RBI, a 114 wRC+, and 1.7 fWAR. To this point, he has a career slash line of .247/.326/.481 and has accumulated 16.9 fWAR since his debut back in 2018.
While he has predominantly played second base in his career, he has shown some defensive versatility, having logged over 150 innings at first base and both outfield corners. Though the true value comes from what he can provide at the plate, as proven by the -13 Outs Above Average in 2025.
Durability has been one glaring issue that has seemed to plague him in his career. He has only played in 100 or more games four times in his career. The 134 he appeared in last year was his career-high in his age-30 season. Though, as I mentioned previously, with his bat being what teams are going to be keen on, he has hit more than 20 home runs in each of those four seasons.
Multiple second basemen are being discussed in trades across the industry tonight.

With the need for offense at the second base position being a league-wide issue that teams are looking to improve on, there are going to be teams willing to look past that to improve their rosters and get them over the hump.
Which Teams Should Trade for Brandon Lowe?
Boston Red Sox
Earlier, I mentioned how the second base market has been hot to start the offseason. That, in large part, is due to the fact that the Diamondbacks and Ketel Marte are seemingly headed towards a split, and the Red Sox are said to be one of the teams that have called Arizona.
With Boston looking to improve at second base, if they fall short of the Marte sweepstakes, the division rival Rays should be their next phone call in hopes of being able to pry them off Brandon Lowe.
