Reviewing The Rays, Angels, And Reds Three-Team Trade

In a three-team trade, the Rays acquired Josh Lowe and Chris Clark from the Angels while Los Angeles received Gavin Lux, and Cincinnati got reliever Brock Burke and shed Lux's $5.525 million salary. Burke emerged as the clear winner, posting a 2.30 ERA across 74 1/3 innings with a league-leading 77 appearances for the Reds and positioning himself for free agency success. Lowe disappointed for the Angels, batting .209 with a 76 wRC+ and spending time in the minors, while Lux never played for Tampa Bay due to a shoulder injury that required multiple recovery setbacks. The Rays won the AL East despite getting no production from their trade acquisitions, relying instead on a second base platoon of Richie Palacios and Ben Williamson.
