CINCINNATI - Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall tonight announced the acquisition of INF Gavin Lux from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for minor league OF Mike Sirota and Cincinnati's Competitive Balance Round A (37th overall) selection in the 2025 first-year player draft.

Lux, 27, hit .251 (110-for-439) with 36 extra-base hits and 50 RBI in 139 games (138 at second base) with Los Angeles in 2024. He made 12 Postseason apps for the World Series champion Dodgers, homering in the team's season-saving victory at San Diego in Game 4 of the NLDS.

Lux batted .252 (336-for-1,333) in 412 regular-season games with Los Angeles over 5 seasons (2019-24). He also played in 30 Postseason games for the Dodgers. In Game 1 of the 2019 NLDS vs Washington, he hit a pinch-hit home run in his first career Postseason plate appearance.

Lux, the Dodgers' first-round (20th overall) selection from the 2016 first-year player draft, tied for the National League lead with 7 triples in 2022. He missed the entire 2023 campaign after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee suffered during a Spring Training game.

Lux was named Baseball America's Minor League Player of the Year and an All-Star Futures Game participant in 2019. At the time of his Major League debut on September 2, 2019, he was rated by MLB Pipeline as the second-best prospect in all of baseball. In his debut, a win vs Colorado, Lux became the first player in franchise history to score 3 runs in his first Major League game.

Sirota, 21, was drafted by the Reds in the third round (87th overall) of the 2024 first-year player draft. He is the great-nephew of National Baseball Hall of Famer Whitey Ford. Sirota was previously selected by the Dodgers in the 16th round of the 2021 draft, but did not sign.

In a corresponding move, the Reds have designated for assignment RHP Roansy Contreras, who was claimed off waivers from Texas on December 19. Cincinnati's 40-player roster is at capacity.
