Cedric Mullins trade details: Mets make MLB deadline deal with Orioles
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 Tyrone Taylor, flanked by left fielder Brandon Nimmo and right fielder Juan Soto. Utilityman Jeff McNeil has been getting starts in center as well this season, his first career games at the position.
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.

Brown, who exited Friday's session with a hamstring injury. Key stars DeVonta Smith, Nolan Smith, and Andrew Mukuba return to limited participation. Mukuba (shoulder) was upgraded as a limited participant on Friday after missing the three previous practices. The rookie was back in full gear and should do more than participate in individual drills. Fullback Ben VanSumeren didn't practice because of the ankle injury he suffered on Thursday. Cornerback Mac McWilliams was also out with a quadriceps strain, along with linebacker Zack Baun (back), receiver Terrace Marshall (knee), and E.J. Jenkins (hamstring). Philadelphia will practice on Monday and Tuesday, before a Wednesday walkthrough that'll proceed Thursday's preseason opener against the Bengals.

Brewers' rookie All-Star pitcher Jacob Misiorowski placed on injured list
WASHINGTON — Jacob Misiorowski, the Milwaukee Brewers' rookie All-Star pitcher, was placed on the 15-day injured list three hours before his scheduled start on Sunday, Aug. 3, with a left tibia contusion. Misiorowski, 23, was selected to the National League All-Star team after just five starts due to his dominant handfuls of outings and 102 mph fastball. Right-hander Logan Henderson will start in Misiorowski's place. The Brewers hold a two-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central and have the best record in baseball. Misiorowski said Sunday he does not anticipate missing more than the 15 day minimum, retroactive to July 31, or roughly two starts. He was struck on the left shin by a line drive off the bat from Chicago's Seiya Suzuki in his last start, and said he lobbied manager Pat Murphy to take his regular turn. Yet a break might not be the worst thing for the 6-7 fireballer. He's already pitched 96 2/3 innings, essentially equaling the 97 1/3 innings pitched between Class AA and AAA last season.
