The only 30-home run, 30-steal Oriole in franchise history will be playing for another team. The deadline got him, too.
Cedric Mullins has been traded today to the Mets in exchange for minor leaguers Raimon Gómez, Anthony Nunez and Chandler Marsh, a source confirmed.
Gómez, 23, is a Venezuelan native who has a combined 4.63 ERA and is averaging 6.4 walks and 12.3 strikeouts per nine innings at two Single-A levels. He reportedly hit 104.5 mph earlier this season with his 80-grade fastball. MLB Pipeline ranked him as the Mets' No. 30 prospect.
Nunez, 24, was the Padres’ 29th-round pick in the 2019 draft out of Miami Springs High School in Miami who enrolled at the University of Tampa after playing two professional seasons as an infielder and being released. He converted to pitching and was the Mets’ No. 14 prospect this year while posting a combined 1.58 ERA and 0.800 WHIP between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton. He’s walked 17 and struck out 60 in 40 innings.
Marsh, 22, is a 6-foot-4, 245-pound right-hander with a combined 2.57 ERA and 0.857 WHIP in 33 games at two Single-A levels. He’s walked 17 and struck out 52 in 42 innings.
