Reds, Braves geared up for 1st-of-its-kind Speedway Classic
Digest more
The Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds are set to make baseball history on Aug. 2 when they play in the first ever 'Speedway Classic' at Bristol Motor Speedway. Per @MLB on social media:
Lux, who has two World Series rings with the Dodgers, was made available a year after missing all of 2023 because of a knee injury when the Dodgers closed a deal with South Korean free agent second baseman Hyeseong Kim ($12.5 million, three years) a few days before sending Lux to the Reds.
That leaves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna, a three-time All-Star who has had a down year to this point, as the biggest name to watch on the Braves roster between now and Thursday.
