The New York Mets acquired Baltimore Orioles centerfielder Cedric Mullins today for three pitching prospects Raimon Gomez, Anthony Nunez and Chandler Marsh.

Mullins has hit well recently with a .321 batting average in 57 plate appearances over his last 16 games.

He has struggled overall with a .229 batting average with 15 homers, 19 doubles and 14 stolen bases.

Mullins was an All-Star in 2021 and has a lifetime batting average of .250 with 101 home runs and 140 doubles in 784 games over eight seasons all with the Orioles.

He will provide some length at the bottom of the order and provide stability in centerfield instead of having Jeff McNeil and Tyrone Taylor platoon.

Hopefully Mullins can bring speed and power and excellent defense and a sparkplug in the lineup.
