The New York Mets are acquiring center fielder Cedric Mullins from the Baltimore Orioles.
Per MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo, Baltimore will receive three prospects: Raimon Gomez, Anthony Nunez, and Chandler Marsh. All three are high-strikeout relief pitchers.
Mullins immediately adds some stability to center field and is an upgrade over both the aging Starling Marte and light-hitting Tyrone Taylor. Granted, he’s only batting .229, but has 15 home runs and .738 OPS, his highest since 2021. The 30-year-old Mullins also has some speed with 14 steals, though his glove in center field leaves plenty to be desired.
