Reports: Angels, Rays, Reds Agree to Three-Team Trade Sending Josh Lowe to Angels

The reported three-team swap addresses specific roster needs for all three clubs.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the Angels will acquire outfielder Josh Lowe, the Rays will get infielder Gavin Lux and right-hander Chris Clark, and the Reds will receive left-handed reliever Brock Burke.
  • Clubs have not announced the deal, which is expected to be approved and made official soon according to the reporting.
  • Los Angeles targets left-handed outfield help with Lowe, who is under club control and coming off two seasons affected by oblique injuries and pronounced platoon splits.
  • Tampa Bay moves to fill second base with Lux, who avoided arbitration at $5.525 million for 2026 after hitting .269/.350/.374 in 140 games last year, and also adds prospect Chris Clark, who posted a 4.73 ERA across three minor-league levels.
  • Cincinnati adds a lefty bullpen arm in Burke, who logged a 3.36 ERA in 69 appearances in 2025 and agreed to a one-year, $2.325 million deal earlier this month.
