Prospect Dodgers stole from Reds in Gavin Lux trade is making Cincy look foolish

Nick Krall may have gifted one of the Cincinnati Reds best prospects to the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this year. The Reds traded Mike Sirota and a Competitive Balance draft pick to the Dodgers in exchange for Gavin Lux. While Lux has been a serviceable member of the Reds roster this season, Sirota's became one of the best prospects in all of Major League Baseball.

Lux has had his moments this season, but his transformation from an infielder to an outfielder has gone about as good as one could expect. Lux has been worth -5 defensive runs saved (DRS) and -6 outs above average (OAA) in left field this season.
