We trade a 2nd baseman, and then acquire a 2nd baseman a month later haha.
The good news is it won't cost us any major league talent. I liked Mike Sirota when we drafted him last year. He has great speed and could have been a long term solution at CF.
But he doesn't even have an at bat in the minor leagues yet, so he's 100% projection at this point. We basically traded two draft picks for Lux.
Interestingly, the Dodgers originally drafted Sirota in 2021, but he chose to go to college instead. Good move by the Reds front office to identify a prospect the team they're trading with liked to get a pretty good player (especially in the 2nd half of last year) with 2 years of control left.
We'll see if this moves McLain to the OF or if they want to try Lux out there.
