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.

The Orioles on Thursday traded center fielder Cedric Mullins, a member of the organization for the past decade, to the New York Mets.

The center fielder, who got his first action with the Mets over the weekend against the Giants, described the quick turnaround he faced after his trade from the Orioles as a bit of a whirlwind.
