How the 3 players the NY Mets traded to the Orioles for Cedric Mullins finished 2025

Does the trade sting even more after seeing how the three prospects did with their new organization?

There wasn’t a New York Mets trade deadline addition this summer more frustrating than Cedric Mullins. The warning signs were already there. He couldn’t have done much worse. Batting just .182/.284/.281 with defensive misfortunes and moments of just looking unalert while running the bases, the Mets bought into what was once was and wasn’t meant to be.

A gamble they felt they needed to take at the price, it cost the Mets three prospects to add to their center field depth. Easily the team’s weakest offensive position this past year, one half of the trade is complete with Mullins reaching free agency. What about the other slice?

The Mets gave up three players to land Mullins. How’d each finish the 2025 season?

Raimon Gomez - 0 innings pitched

Flame-throwing pitching prospect Raimon Gomez didn’t play a single game for the Orioles in the minors after the trade. A low back strain in early August landed him on what would become a season-ending injury. Gomez was struggling with his control in Brooklyn at the time of the trade, issuing walks at a rate of 6.1 per 9. His 6.95 ERA included made it an easy enough call for the Mets to move on.

Chandler Marsh - 1.80 ERA in 10 High-A innings

Chandler Marsh was maybe the least recognizable name in this trade among the Mets prospects. He did well in High-A Aberdeen. An undrafted signing by the Mets, he’s looking to defy expectations. The 23-year-old now has a 2.39 ERA through 52.2 professional innings.

Anthony Nunez - 3.45 ERA in 15.2 Triple-A innings

A converted position player who now pitches, Anthony Nunez made his way to Triple-A after one appearance in Double-A for the Orioles. Although walks were an issue at 4 BB/9, he fanned batters at a 12.1 K/9 rate. The 24-year-old should be in the mix to get some innings with the Orioles next year after a little more seasoning in Triple-A; unless he is taken in the Rule 5 Draft first by another club who thinks he’s worth it.

None of the three are considered top Orioles prospects at the moment. It's a small consolation prize with how poorly Mullins performed as a member of the Mets.

Conclusion: One of these guys is going to at least have a few years in the majors while Mullins is a memory we'd like to forget.
