The New York Mets have acquired center fielder Cedric Mullins from the Baltimore Orioles for three minor league pitchers before the Major League Baseball trade deadline.

The Orioles are trading centerfielder Cedric Mullins to the New York Mets, according to baseball insider Jeff Passan, from ESPN.

The New York Mets acquired center fielder Cedric Mullins from the Baltimore Orioles for three prospects Thursday. Mullins, 30, is set to be a free agent after this season. He's hitting .229 with 15 home runs and a .738 OPS in 91 games for Baltimore, where he has spent the entirety of his eight-year career.

Hours before the trade deadline, the Orioles placed starter Zach Eflin (low back discomfort) on the injured list for a 3rd time this season.

For the first time in years, the Orioles landed at the trade deadline with almost every box checked that a contender could desire.

Adley Rutschman doubled home the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning, leading the Baltimore Orioles to a 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays
