Mets Tagged As Trade Destination For AL East All-Star Outfielder
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources.
As of Thursday, the New York Mets hold the best record in the National League. With a front office that is consistently aggressive in building their team, the Mets will be looking for pieces to add for the stretch run.
With the Baltimore Orioles limping through the early portion of the season, by contrast, that team will likely be looking to unload some of its expiring contracts.

BOSTON, MA - MAY 24: Cedric Mullins #31 of the Baltimore Orioles makes a sliding catch on Ceddanne Rafaela #3 of the Boston Red Sox during the seventh inning of game one of a doubleheader at Fenway Park on May 24, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. More
Photo ByThe Orioles are stumbling through the season and will likely offload some players at the deadline, one of them being centerfielder Cedric Mullins. Mullins was an All-Star in 2021, and while he has not reached the level of play from that season in recent years, he is off to a strong start, already surpassing the halfway point of his home run total from last season.
The Mets have received solid play in centerfield from Tyrone Taylor, but Mullins brings a substantially better bat into play. MLB Insider Jeff Passan of ESPN believes the Mets should target Mullins as the deadline approaches. Believing that his bat will bring a stronger depth to an already potent Mets lineup.
Mullins' bat is not the only tool that the former All-Star possesses; his glove has been great in centerfield, whereas Taylor has been fantastic. Mullins' bat slots him ahead on the depth chart, should a move be made.
With the Mets front office being aggressive in roster building, the Orioles' former All-Star should be circled as a target to bring some ferocity to the lineup. The Orioles will almost certainly be looking at what Mullins can get them if their season does not turn around, and the Mets should be waiting on the other end of the line when the phones start to ring.

Caitlin Clark Turns Heads With Her Behavior During Fever's Practice on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever are gearing up for their highly anticipated matchup against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday. Indiana blew Chicago out in their first meeting earlier this season, 94-58, and they will be hoping for a repeat performance at Wintrust Arena in their upcoming clash this weekend. Advertisement Caitlin Clark will not be suiting up for that game as she continues to work her way back from a quad injury. Saturday's showdown against the Sky will be Clark's fourth straight contest on the sidelines, but the team is hoping that she will be able to return in their next game, which is on Tuesday against the Atlanta Dream. In the meantime, Clark will do everything she can to support the Fever ahead of their big game. This includes taking part in practice, albeit with a different role. The Fever posted some photos on Instagram from their practice session on Thursday, and the fans could not help but notice how Clark looked like she was acting as a coach in one of the pictures. View the original article to see embedded media. Clark can be seen in the background of one of the photos with one of her hands pointing in a certain direction. To the fans, it looked like the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year was playing the role of a coach for the squad amid her injury. Advertisement "Hey, Coach CC, I see you! I see you from afar. 😂," a comment on Instagram read. "CC so bossy," said another. "Wait is CC now a coach? 😂😂😂😂.......What can't she do? 😂" asked a supporter. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22).© Grace Hollars/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images "Caitlin back👀," a reaction read. "Caitlin just can't sit down😂😂 i can't wait to see her back in action," another said. "give the rook some minutes coach CC 👀," demanded a fan. While she's not able to take the court, Clark has been asked to integrate herself with the coaching staff. Head coach Stephanie White previously revealed that she had asked Clark to sit with the coaches during games in order for the 23-year-old to get a first-hand experience of how they operate. Advertisement Clark appears to have taken this to heart as she does what she can to help her team while she's out injured. There's no denying, however, that the All-Star guard would much rather be out on the court playing than being an honorary member of the Fever coaching staff.

Three Players Diamondbacks Could Trade if Struggles Continue
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Several offseason additions had the Arizona Diamondbacks in position to compete atop not only the NL West, but the National League as a whole. Injuries and poor performances have derailed that a bit, and the Diamondbacks are currently in fourth place in their division. Because of the talent possessed by the Giants, Padres and Dodgers, it is unlikely Arizona has a path to the postseason. If the team continues to struggle, here are three players who could be shipped away when the trade deadline rolls around. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 5: Eugenio Suárez #28 of the Arizona Diamondbacks reacts following the 11-10 victory over the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on June 5, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. ATLANTA, GEORGIA - JUNE 5: Eugenio Suárez #28 of the Arizona Diamondbacks reacts following the 11-10 victory over the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on June 5, 2025 in Atlanta, Suárez, 3B Suárez is the biggest power threat in the Arizona lineup, and several teams will be looking for right-handed pop at the deadline. He has 292 career home runs, including 16 this season, as well as a game with four home runs in May. He is in the final season of a seven-year, $60 million contract that he signed prior to the 2019 season when he was still a member of the Cincinnati Reds. His contract situation will make him a prime trade target for teams such as the New York Yankees, New York Mets and Detroit Tigers. Zac Gallen, SP Like Suárez, Gallen is on a one-year deal, making him a possible trade target if Arizona decides to make him available. The one thing that would make him unattractive are his struggles this season. Just two seasons removed from a Cy Young Award, Gallen is 4-7 with a 5.13 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 13 starts and 73 2/3 innings pitched. If he is able to turn things around prior to the trade deadline, he will become an extremely attractive target for teams such as the Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs. Josh Naylor, 1B The theme of this trade list is becoming evident, as Naylor is also under contract with Arizona through the end of this season. Teams are always looking for left-handed bats at the trade deadline, and Naylor's .289 average with seven home runs, 39 RBIs and .793 OPS could make him highly coveted. Teams such as the Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners are struggling with production at first base and could benefit from adding Naylor.
