Orioles' Cedric Mullins Robs Home Run in Potential Final Baltimore Game

Cedric Mullins delivered a stunning defensive highlight for the Baltimore Orioles in what may have been his final home game at Camden Yards, making a leaping, backhanded catch above the center field wall to rob Ali Sánchez of a home run. Despite Mullins' outstanding fielding and a solid offensive showing during the homestand, the Orioles lost 9-8 to the Toronto Blue Jays, with Mullins striking out in a crucial bases-loaded situation late in the game. Mullins, an eight-year Orioles veteran known for his 30-30 season in 2021 and contributions to playoff teams in 2023 and 2024, is now likely to be traded as Baltimore sits in last place and prepares for the trade deadline. The Orioles have been active sellers, trading several players recently, with Mullins showcasing defensive skills that are attracting interest from other teams. Blue Jays manager John Schneider praised Mullins' catch as impressive and effortless, highlighting his defensive prowess. Mullins and his teammates are anticipating relief once the trade deadline passes, uncertain about their futures with the Orioles.
