The Nationals acquired closer Brandon Kintzler from the Twins right before the Trade Deadline on Monday. Minnesota will receive Minor League left-hander Tyler Watson and international bonus pool money from Washington.

Kintzler, 32, is 2-2 with a 2.78 ERA and 28 saves in 45 1/3 innings for the Twins this season. He figures to form a dynamic late-inning trio with lefty Sean Doolittle and righty Ryan Madson, who were acquired from the Athletics earlier this month.
Watson is 6-4 with a 4.35 ERA for Double-A Hagerstown this season. He was rated the Nationals' No. 17 prospect by MLBPipeline.com.

In the end, the Orioles didn't trade relievers Zach Britton or Brad Brach. They didn't deal away Welington Castillo or Seth Smith. Instead, Baltimore added both pitcher Jeremy Hellickson and shortstop Tim Beckham in advance of Monday's Trade Deadline.

Dan Duquette cited Beckham's pedigree as a former No. 1 Draft pick (in 2008) and his upside as key in the deal, which sent Minor League pitcher Tobias Myers to Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old Beckham batted .259/.314/.407 (82-for-317) with five doubles, three triples, 12 home runs, 31 runs, and 36 RBIs in 87 games with the Rays this season.

The Phillies have traded right-hander Joaquin Benoit and cash to the Pittsburgh Pirates for minor league right-hander Seth McGarry.

Benoit, 40, was 1-4 with two saves and a 4.07 ERA in 44 appearances. He joins his eighth team in his 16 seasons in the majors.

McGarry had a 1.34 ERA in 31 games for Class A Bradenton this season. 

The Dodgers, owners of the best record in baseball, have acquired right-hander Yu Darvish from the Rangers, the teams announced Monday.

Los Angeles landed perhaps the biggest name available right at the trade deadline. The Rangers will receive three minor leaguers: second baseman Willie Calhoun, right-hander A.J. Alexy and shortstop Brendon Davis. They are the fourth-, 17th- and 27th-ranked prospects in the Dodgers' system, respectively, according to MLB.com.

The D-backs acquired right-handed reliever David Hernandez from the Angels on Monday for Minor League righty Luis Madero, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.

The Dodgers have agreed to a deal with the Pirates to acquire left-handed reliever Tony Watson, a source told MLB Network Insider Ken Rosenthal ahead of today's non-waiver Trade Deadline. The clubs haven't confirmed an agreement.

Watson has a 2.68 ERA and 30 saves in his career.

The Cleveland Indians acquired reliever Joe Smith from the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, according to Fox Sports.

The right-handed Smith, 33, is 3-0 with a 3.28 ERA in 38 appearances this season.

The Diamondbacks placed valuable utility man Chris Owings on the 60-day disabled list Monday, shortly after acquiring infielder Adam Rosales in a trade with the Athletics.

The Astros acquired left-hander Francisco Liriano from the Blue Jays on Monday, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney, confirming multiple reports.

MLB.com is reporting that outfielder Nori Aoki and minor league outfielder Teoscar Hernandez are headed to Toronto in return for Liriano.

Liriano, 33, is 6-5 with a 5.88 ERA in 18 starts for Toronto this season. He is 102-97 with a 4.15 ERA in 12 seasons.

The Yankees' pursuit of Athletics starter Sonny Gray spilled into the final hours before the trade deadline, but a swap has been agreed to that will send the right-hander to New York, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The Athletics are getting back shortstop Jorge Mateo, outfielder Dustin Fowler and pitcher James Kaprielian, according to multiple reports. Oakland is taking on two injured players, as Fowler ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee during his first game in the majors last season while Kaprielian underwent Tommy John surgery earlier this year.

Gray is under club control through the 2019 season. He is making $3.6 million this season and is arbitration eligible in 2018.
