Outfielder Josh Lowe Traded to Angels in Three-Team Deal

Outfielder Josh Lowe, turning 28, has been traded from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Los Angeles Angels as part of a three-team deal involving the Reds. Lowe, who signed a 1-year, $2.6M contract and is FA-eligible after 2028, had a career-worst 2025 season, batting .220 with 11 HR and 40 RBI, missing significant time due to his third right oblique injury in 13 months. While he had a strong 2023 season (.292/.335/.500, 32 SB), his production declined in 2024-25, especially against left-handed pitching. The Angels hope to help him recapture his previous form, acquiring a player with team control through 2028.
