Rays Sign Former All-Star Mullins
4 Dec
Summary
- Rays are signing Cedric Mullins to a one-year contract.
- Mullins had a difficult 2025 season with Orioles and Mets.
- He was an All-Star in 2021, posting strong offensive numbers.
In a move to strengthen their lineup, the Tampa Bay Rays are reportedly set to sign center fielder Cedric Mullins to a one-year deal. Mullins, who previously showcased All-Star caliber talent, is seeking a career resurgence after a difficult 2025 campaign. He experienced a slump while playing for the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Mets during the past season.
Mullins' offensive struggles in 2025 saw him hit .229 for Baltimore and a meager .182 with the Mets. This contrasts sharply with his impressive 2021 season, where he earned an American League All-Star selection, posted a .291 batting average, hit 30 home runs, and recorded 59 RBIs, demonstrating his significant potential.
The addition of Mullins offers the Rays a chance to benefit from his proven ability, should he return to his previous form. His return to Baltimore is scheduled for May 18, when the Orioles visit Tampa Bay, marking a potential reunion with his former club.
