Cincinnati Reds trade outfielder Tyler Naquin, Moeller grad Phillip Diehl to Mets

With five days remaining until Tuesday's trade deadline, the Cincinnati Reds made their first deal.

The Reds sent outfielder Tyler Naquin and Triple-A reliever Phillip Diehl, a Cincinnati native and Moeller grad, to the New York Mets for two minor league players, a source confirmed to The Enquirer.

Naquin, who homered in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Miami Marlins, is a free agent at the end of the season. He was hitting .246 with seven homers, 12 doubles and 33 RBI in 56 games.

Diehl made five relief appearances with the Reds this season.
