The Rays acquired Gavin Lux in a three-team trade and plan to use him as their everyday second baseman, focusing his defensive work at the keystone and likely locking Taylor Walls in at shortstop to start the season, with Carson Williams headed back to Triple-A; Lux’s move is aimed at stabilizing the infield around his strengths at second base, while Richie Palacios could see his opportunities reduced.
