Nunez is the highest-ranked prospect of the three as the Mets’ No. 14 player in the farm system before the trade, per MLB Pipeline. The 24-year-old was originally drafted in 2019 by the Padres in the 29th round as an infielder and played in San Diego’s pipeline for two years before being released.

The Orioles on Thursday traded center fielder Cedric Mullins, a member of the organization for the past decade, to the New York Mets.
