By The Orioles today announced that they have acquired minor league right-handed pitchers RAIMON GOMEZ, CHANDLER MARSH, and ANTHONY NUNEZ from the New York Mets in exchange for outfielder CEDRIC MULLINS.
Gomez, 23, is 5-5 with two saves and a 4.63 ERA (18 ER/35.0 IP) with 22 hits (3 HR), 26 total runs, 25 walks, five hit batters, and 48 strikeouts in 27 appearances (3 GS) between High-A Brooklyn and Single-A St. Lucie this season. In a game on April 26 vs. Dayton, he recorded a strikeout on a 104.5 mph pitch, the fastest pitch by any thrown in a ballpark equipped with Statcast technology in 2025. Among all minor leaguers who have thrown a pitch in a Statcast ballpark this year, he has the eight fastest pitches thrown, all above 103.4 mph. The Barcelona, Venezuela native originally signed as an international free agent on August 9, 2021. He is currently ranked as the No. 22 Mets prospect by Baseball America and No. 30 by MLB Pipeline.
Marsh, 22, is 4-1 with three saves and a 2.57 ERA (12 ER/42.0 IP) with 19 hits (1 HR), 17 walks, three hit batters, and 52 strikeouts in 33 appearances between High-A Brooklyn and Single-A St. Lucie. His .133 opponent batting average ranks fifth in the minors (min. 40.0 IP). The Greensboro, N.C. native made his professional debut last season after signing as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Georgia on July 22, 2024.
Nunez, 24, is 2-1 with five saves and a 1.58 ERA (7 ER/40.0 IP) and 15 hits, 17 walks, one hit batter, and 60 strikeouts in 32 appearances between Double-A Binghamton and High-A Brooklyn this season. Among minor leaguers with at least 40.0 innings this season, his .119 opponent batting average ranks third, his 40.0 percent strikeout rate is seventh, while his 0.80 WHIP ranks ninth. The Miami, Fla. native was originally selected by the San Diego Padres in the 29th round of the 2019 First-Year Player Draft out of Miami Springs High School (FL) as an infielder but was released in 2021, qualified for amateur deregulation, and was eligible to play at the NCAA Division 2 level, enrolling at the University of Tampa (FL) in 2022. He became a two-way player in 2024 and was later signed as a minor league free agent by the Mets on June 14, 2024. Nunez is currently ranked as the No. 14 Mets prospect by MLB Pipeline and No. 27 by Baseball America.
Mullins, 30, hit .229/.305/.433 (72-for-314) with 19 doubles, 15 home runs, 42 runs scored, 49 RBI, 34 walks, and 14 steals in 91 games this season. The eight-year veteran was named to his first career All-Star Game in 2021 and won an American League Silver Slugger Award that season, earning Most Valuable Oriole after becoming the first player in team history (since 1954) to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in the same season. Originally selected by Baltimore in the 13th round of the 2015 First-Year Player Draft out of Campbell University (NC), the Greensboro, N.C. native’s 139 career steals rank seventh in Orioles history.
