Trade Breakdown

  • Angels receive: OF Josh Lowe
  • Rays receive: INF Gavin Lux, RHP Chris Clark (minor league)
  • Reds receive: LHP Brock Burke
  • Lowe's 2025 Season

    Lowe, 27, had a difficult 2025 with the Rays—batting .220 with 11 home runs, 40 RBIs, and 18 stolen bases while dealing with multiple oblique injuries. When healthy, he has shown 20+ HR power and plus speed. Lux, coming off a .269 season with the Reds, is expected to take over at second base for Tampa Bay.

    AthX Impact

    Lowe gets a fresh start in Anaheim. His price may be depressed by the injury-shortened 2025. If he stays healthy and recaptures his 2023–24 form, he could be a value play. Burke adds bullpen depth for Cincinnati.
