Reliever Brock Burke Traded to Reds in Three-Team Deal

Left-handed reliever Brock Burke, 29, has been traded from the Los Angeles Angels to the Cincinnati Reds in a three-team deal. Outfielder Josh Lowe moved from Rays to Angels, and infielder Gavin Lux from Reds to Rays. Burke posted a 7-1 record with a 3.36 ERA in 68 relief appearances and one start for the Angels last season. He has a $2.325M salary and is a free agent after 2026. Burke, who previously struggled with shoulder issues, had a 3.40 ERA in 82 innings over 90 appearances for the Angels after being claimed off waivers in 2024. His addition is expected to strengthen the Reds' bullpen.
