Mets find a center fielder in trade with Orioles for Cedric Mullins

Turning their attention to offense, the New York Mets acquired center fielder Cedric Mullins from the Baltimore Orioles for three minor league pitchers before the Major League Baseball trade deadline Thursday. The last-place Orioles received right-handers Raimon Gómez, Anthony Nunez and Chandler Marsh. The speedy Mullins gives the Mets an all-around upgrade in center, where Tyrone Taylor was playing terrific defense but providing little offense.
