Former Los Angeles Dodgers World Series champion Gavin Lux was dealt to the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-team trade Thursday.

While the baseball world reacted to the news of top free agent Kyle Tucker signing a four-year, $240 million deal with the defending champions, the former Dodgers second baseman was traded for a second offseason in a row.

The Rays sent outfielder Josh Lowe to the Los Angeles Angels, who sent left-handed reliever Brock Burke to the Cincinnati Reds. Lux was dealt to the Rays with minor league right-hander Chris Clark going from L.A. to Tampa Bay.

Last winter, the Dodgers traded Lux to the Reds in exchange for outfield prospect Mike Sirota. The move came as somewhat of a surprise; however, the Dodgers had signed KBO star infielder Hyeseong Kim to a three-year, $12.5 million deal just a few days prior.

Kim seemingly replaced Lux as the Dodgers starting second baseman, but that theory was quickly debunked as his struggles in spring camp propelled L.A. to keep him in the minors to open the season.

As for Lux, one of the few homegrown players on the Dodgers roster, he joined an up and coming Reds squad. The infielder averaged .269 with five home runs, 53 RBIs, and a .724 OPS last season in Cincinnati.

Lux agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Reds in order to avoid arbitration last week. He will now join former Dodgers prospect Hunter Feduccia on the Rays.

Lux has a .256 career batting average with 33 home runs and 208 RBIs across six seasons with the Dodgers and Reds. The 28-year-old missed the 2023 season after tearing his right ACL in a spring training game.

Since the Dodgers traded Lux, the team hasn’t had an everyday second baseman, instead opting to use a rotation of players such as Tommy Edman, Miguel Rojas, and Kiké Hernandez.
