The Cedric Mullins era has come to an end for the Baltimore Orioles. A free agent after the season, Mullin was expected to be one of several players moved ahead of the deadline. The question was what team would come away with Mullins, as the veteran center fielder had been linked to the New York Mets, Houston Astros, and Philadelphia Phillies in recent weeks. With the Mets landing Harrison Bader already and the Astros likely looking for infield help, the stage was set for the Mets to swoop in and grab Mullins. That is what they did.
