Josh Lowe to Angels, Gavin Lux to Rays in three-team trade

The Tampa Bay Rays sent outfielder Josh Lowe to the Angels on Friday as part of a three-team trade in which left-handed reliever Brock Burke went from the Angels to Cincinnati.

Infielder Gavin Lux moved from the Reds to Tampa Bay and minor league right-hander Chris Clark from the Angels to the Rays.

Lowe, who turns 28 on Feb. 2, batted a career-worst .220 with 11 homers and 40 RBIs last year. He injured his right oblique for the third time in 13 months and didn’t play between the March 28 opener and May 15.

Lowe has a $2.6-million, one-year contract and is on track to be eligible for free agency after the 2028 World Series. He has a .250 average with 43 homers and 170 RBIs in five big league seasons, all with the Rays.

Lux, 28, hit .269 with five homers and 53 RBIs in his only season with the Reds. He agreed last week to a $5,525,000, one-year contract and can become a free agent after this year’s World Series.

He has a .256 average with 33 homers and 208 RBIs in six seasons with the Dodgers (2019-24) and the Reds, who acquired him last January for minor league outfielder Mike Sirota and a draft pick. Lux missed the 2023 season after tearing his right ACL in a spring training game.

Burke, 29, was 7-1 with a 3.36 ERA in 68 relief appearances and one start for the Angels. He has a $2,325,000 salary also also can become a free agent after this year’s World Series.

Clark, 24, was a fifth-round draft pick in 2023 from Harvard and was 4-10 with a 4.73 ERA in 20 starts last year for Class A Inland Empire, High A Tri-City and double-A Rocket City.

Emergency services were called to the swanky hotel at 2.52am, where paramedics found Victoria unresponsive, TMZ reported.

First responders pronounced Victoria, daughter of actor Tommy Lee Jones, dead at the scene.

There were no signs of foul play or trauma to the body, according to the Daily Mail source.

Cops didn’t find drug paraphernalia on the scene, or any signs that Jones had taken her own life.

Her cause of death remains a mystery, and San Francisco police have asked anyone with information about the incident to get in touch with them.

It is still unclear if the child star was a guest at the hotel or what she was doing on the 14th floor.

A spokesperson for the police force said: “On 1/1/26 at approximately 3:14 a.m., San Francisco Police officers responded to a hotel located on the 900 block of Mason street regarding a report of a deceased person.

“At the scene, officers met with medics, who declared the adult female deceased. The Medical Examiner arrived on scene and conducted an investigation.”

Victoria was the daughter of Tommy and his second wife Kimberlea Cloughley.

She followed in her father’s footsteps, acting in several films, including 2002’s Men in Black II and One Tree Hill.

She performed her first acting role as a child before making her Hollywood debut in 2002.

Her famous father played Agent K in the Men in Black franchise.

Victoria also appeared in a handful of acting projects as a child, including a 2005 episode of One Tree Hill and a role that same year in the Western picture The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which was directed by her father.

Tommy is also known for Batman Forever, No Country for Old Men, Captain America: The First Avenger and Jason Bourne.

After a brief stint in Hollywood, Victoria did not act in any other movies, but occasionally appeared alongside her father to attend red carpet events.

In 2017, she posed at his side at the ArcLight Hollywood for the premiere of his movie Just Getting Started, which also starred Morgan Freeman and Rene Russo.

She is survived by her father Jones, her mother Cloughley and her brother, Austin.
