Gavin Lux, once a top prospect and now a two-time World Series champion, joined the Cincinnati Reds on a one-year, $3.325 million deal. In 2025, he has largely met expectations while adapting to a full-time utility role for the first time in his career.
Now that the second half of the season is underway and the Reds are eyeing a playoff run, Lux finds himself in the thick of the action. But looking beyond this season, the Reds face a key offseason decision: should they re-sign Lux or let him test free agency?
