Cedric Mullins trade details: Mets make MLB deadline deal with Orioles
admin_news
The New York Mets added to their collection of outfielders by acquiring Baltimore Orioles veteran Cedric Mullins two hours before Major League Baseball's trade deadline, MLB.com reports.
Mullins, who turns 31 Oct. 1, was an All-Star, Silver Slugger winner and a 30-homer, 30-steal player in 2021. That marked the peak of his offensive production, but he still remains a slightly better than league average hitter while providing sometimes spectacular defense in center field.
He'll likely share time in center with right-handed hitting Luisangel Acuña, flanked by left fielder Brandon Nimmo and right fielder Juan Soto.
Mullins marks the fifth player traded by the 50-59 Orioles this month, joining relievers Bryan Baker, Seranthony Dominguez and Andrew Kittredge and infielder Ramon Urías.
Per MLB.com, the Orioles will be receiving right-handed pitchers Raimon Gómez, Anthony Nunez and Chandler Marsh.
