The San Francisco Giants are urged take a chance on a struggling outfielder that could lead to big returns.
Mullins has been a historically solid batter to along with a great glove, but is struggling mightily at the plate this season. With the Orioles looking to win a World Series this year, they could be in the market of trading him for a pitcher while looking for another "win-now" option in the outfield.
He was slashing just .197/.245/.343 at the plate entering Friday. On June 20, he hit his first home run since the end of April, breaking out of a huge slump.The North Carolina native was drafted in the 13th round of the 2015 MLB draft by Baltimore. He made his debut in 2018. While he was already showing promise in the field, he was way behind as a hitter.
He slashed .235/.312/.359 in 45 games as a rookie. Things got worse after that, though, as he logged just 22 games the next season with a horrid slashing line of .094/.181/.156. The Orioles didn't give up, though, as he bounced back a year later to finally look ready to be consistent at the big league level.
His first full season came in 2021 and it was better than anyone could have expected. He earned his first All-Star nod and Silver Slugger award. He had a 30-30 performance launching home runs and stealing bases constantly.A trade could make sense for the Giants. While they have battled to stay relevant in the playoff race, going all in for this season could make sense.could also be in Mullins' favor.
