The New York Mets, in a surprising turn of events at the trade deadline, have managed to address a significant position player need with the acquisition of center fielder Cedric Mullins from the Baltimore Orioles. The deal, which sends prospects Raimon Gómez, Anthony Nunez, and Chandler Marsh to Baltimore, appears to be a good bet for the Mets.

For a team's 30th-ranked prospect and two other defensive prospects, the cost for the former All-Star seems reasonable, and Mullins's potential contributions are expected to meet or exceed the investment.
