In this story:

MLB Network analysts Greg Amsinger and Cliff Floyd discussed the Reds trading for Gavin Lux on Monday night.

They discussed this move in a segment called "moves that make you go hmmm..."

"I don't get this for the Reds," Amsinger said. "You moved Jonathan India because you didn't have anywhere for him to play because you have a surplus of young position players. Matt McLain is coming back. I don't understand why you're acquiring Gavin Lux."

Floyd mentioned the Reds should be better than they have been.

"When I look at the Reds, they should be better," Floyd said. "They definitely should be better than what we saw in 2024. This might be able to push some buttons of those guys that are in house already."
