Deadline roundup: Mets get relief for Reed

The Major League Baseball non-waiver trade deadline expired at 4 p.m. ET Monday. Below is a running update of the prospects headed to new organizaitons:
Mets send Reed to Red Sox for three relief prospects: New York dealt one Major League reliever Monday and picked up three Minor League ones in return.
Right-hander Addison Reed is headed to Boston for Stephen Nogosek, Jamie Callahan and Gerson Bautista, according to multiple reports including MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. The trio were ranked No. 18, 23 and 28, respectively, in MLB.com's ranking of Red Sox prospects before the deal. 

Nogosek was a sixth-round pick in 2016 out of the University of Oregon and has posted a 3.06 ERA with 63 strikeouts, 21 walks and a .212 average-against between Class A Greenville and Class A Advanced Salem. He made the jump to the higher level on June 22, and six of his seven earned runs there came on July 23. The 22-year-old right-hander has earned above-average grades for his fastball, slider and cutter, and those offerings combined with his advanced pedigree out of college could push him up the Mets' chain fairly quickly.
Callahan is a former starter in the Red Sox system who has only recently flourished out of the bullpen. He owns a 3.21 ERA with 56 strikeouts and 13 walks in 42 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket, while working almost exlcusively with a fastball and cutter. Bautista can throw hard with a fastball that can touch the upper-90's on occasion, leading to 53 strikeouts in 45 1/3 inings with Salem, but he's struggled with control, walking 12.7 percent of the batters he's faced. He owns a 5.16 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and .286 average-against this season.
Bautista and Callahan are both eligible for the Rule 5 Draft this offseason and would need to be added to the 40-man roster by November, should the Mets wish to protect them.
Reed heads to Boston where he'll likely serve as a setup man for closer Craig Kimbrel. He's posted a 2.57 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 48 strikeouts and only six walks in 49 innings with the Mets before Monday's deal. He also earned 19 saves. The 28-year-old right-hander will become a free agent at the end of this season.
Astros send Hernandez, Aoki north of the border for Liriano: No. 9 Houston prospectTeoscar Hernández is heading to Toronto with outfielder Norichika Aoki for Major League left-hander Francisco Liriano, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart.
Hernandez is most well-known for his speed, having stolen 30-plus bases in each season from 2014 through 2016, but has shown a solid bat as well. He hit .307/.377/.459 with 10 homers and 34 steals in 107 games between Triple-A Fresno and Double-A Corpus Christi last season -- numbers that were good enough to earn him a Major League debut last August. His numbers weren't quite as good over 41 games in the Majors (.230/.304/.420), but he'd been a solid contributor back with Fresno in 2017, hitting .279/.369/.485 with 12 homers and 12 steals in 79 games. The 24-year-old outfielder played one game for the Astros in April before being put on the disabled list with a bruised lower left leg and returned to Triple-A in May. He's played all three outfield spots this season, though the bulk of his time has been in right where his above-average arm suits the position. Four of his six outfield assists have been in right.
Liriano is the Major League headliner of the deal in heading to the American League West leaders. He's posted a 5.88 ERA with 74 strikeouts and 43 walks in 82 2/3 innings as a starter for the Blue Jays but is expected to move to Houston's bullpen. The 33-year-old southpaw has held fellow left-handers to a .230 average with 17 strikeouts and one walk over 63 plate appearances this season.
Aoki was hitting .272/.323/.371 with two homers in 71 games during his first season with the Astros, having been selected off waivers from the Mariners last November. He does not become a free agent until after the 2018 season.
Cruz part of Pirates' return for LHP Watson: The Dodgers traded No. 21 prospectOneil Cruz and right-hander Angel German to the Pirates for left-hander Tony Watson, bolstering their bullpen in front of closer Kenley Jansen.
Los Angeles signed Cruz for $950,000 as an international free agent from the Dominican Republic in July 2015, and the 6-foot-6 third baseman batted .294/.367/.444 for the Dodgers' Rookie-level affiliate in the Dominican Summer League the following season, scoring 28 runs and stealing 11 bases in 16 attempts over 55 games. In his first crack at full-season ball this year, the 18-year-old Cruz was batting .240/.293/.342 with eight homers and eight steals -- in 15 attempts -- with 110 strikeouts and 28 walks in 89 games at Class A Great Lakes. He's also played 43 games at shortstop in addition to 79 at the hot corner -- the position he projects to long-term -- and scouts believe in both his quick hands at the plate and his power potential once he fills out his frame.
Watson started the year as Pittsburgh's closer, but a rough May cost him his ninth-inning job as fellow southpaw Felipe Rivero took over. The 32-year-old veteran has bounced back lately, going 1-2 with a 2.53 ERA over 10 2/3 innings in July, and he's 5-3 with a 3.66 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 46 2/3 innings on the season.
German was Cruz's teammate with the Loons before both were dealt Monday. In 21 appearances out of the bullpen in 2017, the 6-foot-4, 185-pound right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.91 ERA, 37 strikeouts and 14 walks over 33 innings. Opponents are batting .190 against him, and the 21-year-old Dominican has yet to allow a home run this season.
Twins pick up Watson for Kintzler: One day after spinning Jaime García off to the Yankees, the Twins continued to sell Monday, trading All-Star closer Brandon Kintzler to the Nationals for No. 17 Washington prospect Tyler Watson and $500,000 in international signing bonus money.
A 34th-round pick in 2015, Watson raised his stock this season at Class A Hagerstown, posting a 4.35 ERA with 98 strikeouts and 24 walks in 93 innings. His fastball and curveball are seen as having above-average potential, and there's still room to grow as he fills out his 6-foot-5 frame. His control is also solid and has helped his three-pitch mix play up in the lower levels.
Kintzler is headed to a Nationals team in need of relief help. The right-hander, who turns 33 on Tuesday, is in the midst of his first All-Star season, having earned 28 saves while posting a 2.78 ERA with 27 strikeouts and 11 walks over 45 1/3 innings for the Twins. He will be a free agent this offseason.
