Cedric Mullins, who joined the New York Mets at the trade deadline after spending his entire career in Baltimore, wasted no time making his goal with his new team clear—something he recently shared in response to a reporter’s question.
When asked what he brings to the Mets in a season where the team has championship aspirations, Mullins didn’t hesitate. He made it clear that his mindset is fully aligned with the organization’s goals. “Bringing a ring back to the city—that’s what it’s all about,” he said, sending a strong message about his intention to help lead the Mets deep into October.
During his time with the Orioles, Mullins played in just two postseasons—2023 and 2024—appearing in five total games. In those appearances, he recorded three hits, one home run, and one RBI, finishing with a .158 batting average.
Can the Mets reach the postseason?
Mullins’ vision aligns with the Mets’ current trajectory. The team sits at 62-48, holding second place in the NL East and currently trailing only the Cubs in the NL Wild Card race. They made it all the way to the NLCS last year, and expectations are high once again.
Mullins could bring some added spark to the lineup. So far in 2025, he’s batting .229 with 15 home runs, 49 RBIs, and 72 hits—all with the Orioles. Still, he arrives in solid form and could be a valuable contributor down the stretch.
When was the last time the Mets won a World Series?
The Mets have won two World Series titles in franchise history. The first came in 1969 against the Orioles, and the most recent was in 1986 when they defeated the Red Sox. They didn’t return to the Fall Classic again until 2000, when they lost to the Yankees.
