Rays Acquire Infielder Gavin Lux in Three-Team Trade from Reds

Infielder Gavin Lux, 28, has been traded from the Cincinnati Reds to the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-team, four-player deal that also brought RHP Chris Clark to Tampa Bay. Lux, who spent his lone season with the Reds hitting .269/.350/.374 with five homers and 53 RBIs, is in his final year of arbitration. He is expected to platoon at second base for the Rays, potentially limiting his exposure against left-handed pitching. Over six MLB seasons, Lux has a .256/.332/.381 slash line with 33 home runs and 208 RBIs.
