Overview
- The trade is official: Lowe goes to the Angels, Lux and minor leaguer Chris Clark move to the Rays, and Burke joins the Reds.
- Lowe, a left-handed outfielder under club control through 2028, signed for $2.6 million in 2026 after two injury-affected seasons following a 2023 breakout.
- Lux arrives in Tampa Bay as a second-base option for 2026 on a $5.525 million deal before free agency, offering on-base skills and multi-position flexibility.
- Cincinnati adds left-handed reliever Burke, who posted a 3.36 ERA across 69 appearances for the Angels in 2025 and is on a one-year, $2.325 million contract.
- Clark, a 2023 fifth-round pick from Harvard who reached Double-A last year, gives the Rays additional pitching depth for development.
