Lux sucks and the Rays aren’t interested in guys already in arbitration. Rays say no.

The arbitration part is fair, but idk about “sucks”. My guess is that Lux will get dumped in some other deal and the Dodgers pursue Lowe with prospects instead. Not sure they land him if another team is willing to overpay
All right, I withdraw “sucks.” However, he has exceeded 100 wRC+ only once in his 5 year career and is averaging only 1.1 fWAR per season. Even his best season (113 wRC+ and 2.7 fWAR) is only kinda good (and well below what the Rays are used to from 2B).
