Mullins marks the fifth player traded by the 50-59 Orioles this month, joining relievers Bryan Baker, Seranthony Dominguez and Andrew Kittredge and infielder Ramon Urías. The club later traded DH Ryan O'Hearn and outfielder Ramon Laureano to the San Diego Padres.

With a revamped roster, the Mets are +850 to win the World Series, per DraftKings Sportsbook, only behind the Los Angeles Dodgers (+285), the Philadelphia Phillies (+800) and the Detroit Tigers (+800). With the trade deadline moves, New York now has a payroll of $339.8 million, per Spotrac.

Nunez is the highest-ranked prospect of the three as the Mets’ No. 14 player in the farm system before the trade, per MLB Pipeline. The 24-year-old was originally drafted in 2019 by the Padres in the 29th round as an infielder and played in San Diego’s pipeline for two years before being released.
