Mullins was moved to the Mets at the trade deadline, freeing a path for Beavers and altering Baltimore’s outfield dynamic as the Orioles pursue a post-deadline rebuild.

Mullins is a late-season spark in this Mets context, with recent power and speed and a notable home-run RBI run. His lefty-right split profile and pace with Lindor and Alonso provides an important speed element in the stack and a viable way to leverage Carrasco’s weaker splits.

Mullins opened the Brewers fourth with a 16th homer, igniting a Brewers surge that would eventually set up the dramatic late-inning finish.

Mullins, an acquired asset, is being evaluated for his potential impact against left-handed pitching, demonstrating the Mets' strategic adjustments as they seek to enhance their competitiveness.

Cedric Mullins joining the Mets raises questions about his fantasy viability, especially due to potential decreases in power output within a less hitter-friendly park.
