Nick Krall spoke with a group of reporters after the Reds acquired Gavin Lux from the Dodgers on Monday night.

Krall was asked about the Reds budget and how much flexibility they have left.

“We’ve got a little bit, not a ton," Krall said. "We’re just kind of working through that now. Trading the Draft pick saved us some money there as well, instead of trading the prospect and picking the player, which we could help put into the Major League payroll as well.”

Krall said the Reds will continue to look to improve their roster if the right opportunity arises.

"If we can add somebody to better our club, we are going to look at it," Krall said. "We are going to look at anyway to continue to make this club the best we possibly can going into the season."
