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