The speedy Mullins gives the Mets an all-around upgrade in center, where Tyrone Taylor was playing terrific defense but providing little offense. Versatile veteran Jeff McNeil has also been getting starts in center because of his bat, but he has much more experience at second base and the corner outfield spots.

The New York Mets added to their collection of outfielders by acquiring Baltimore Orioles veteran Cedric Mullins two hours before Major League Baseball's trade deadline, MLB.com reports.

The Post’s Joel Sherman reported the Mets will send three righty pitching prospects to Baltimore: Anthony Nunez (their No. 14 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline), Raimon Gomez (No. 30) and Chandler Marsh (unranked).
