Dodgers Trade Gavin Lux to Reds for Prospect and Draft Pick

The Dodgers send Lux to Cincinnati after signing South Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim to bolster their middle infield depth.

The Dodgers traded second baseman Gavin Lux to the Reds in exchange for outfield prospect Mike Sirota and the 37th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.
Lux, a two-time World Series champion with Los Angeles, rebounded strongly in the second half of 2024 after missing the 2023 season due to an ACL injury.
The Dodgers' recent signing of Hyeseong Kim, a versatile infielder from the KBO, made Lux expendable given their deep infield roster, including Mookie Betts, Chris Taylor, and others.
The Reds plan to use Lux as a flexible utility player across multiple positions, joining a crowded infield that features Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain.
The Dodgers gain a promising outfield prospect in Sirota, known for his speed and potential as a center fielder, as well as valuable draft capital to reinforce their future roster.
