As a new member of the New York Mets, Cedric Mullins already seems to have a clear sense of what his mission is—not just for this season, but for the rest of his time with the organization.

Mullins arrived Friday about 2 1/2 hours before first pitch and was activated on the roster but not inserted into the starting lineup.

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.
