The Baltimore Orioles traded Ryan O'Hearn and Ramon Laureano, following the trade of Cedric Mullins. Mullins, a centerfielder, is headed to the New York Mets for three prospects -- third baseman Anthony Nunez, right-handed pitcher Raimon Gomez, and right-handed pitcher Chandler Marsh, the Orioles announced.

The speedy Mullins gives the Mets an all-around upgrade in center, where Tyrone Taylor was playing terrific defense but providing little offense. Versatile veteran Jeff McNeil has also been getting starts in center because of his bat, but he has much more experience at second base and the corner outfield spots.
