The Cincinnati Reds on Monday acquired veteran infielder Gavin Lux from the world-champion Los Angeles Dodgers, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Los Angeles will receive a Competitive Balance Round A pick (around No. 37) and outfield prospect Mike Sirota in the deal for Lux, 27, who hit .251 last season with 10 home runs and 50 RBIs.
The Reds have been looking for infield help after they dealt second baseman Jonathan India to the Kansas City Royals in November. Cincinnati added veteran right-handed pitcher Brady Singer from the Royals in the India deal.
Lux played in 139 games for the Dodgers last season, and 129 the season before. In Los Angeles' run to the World Series title last season, he had one home run and four RBIs in 12 games.
