Perched in first place with a mostly healthy roster and one of their most dynamic offensive cores in decades, the Mets entered late July sensing another fine runway for a deep postseason run. They then became one of the Trade Deadline’s more active teams,

The New York Mets are acquiring veteran outfielder Cedric Mullins from the Baltimore Orioles, the teams announced. The Orioles received minor-league pitchers Raimon Gómez, Anthony Nunez and Chandler Marsh in the return.

The Giants have struggled since trading for Rafael Devers in June, and that put them in "soft sell" mode. They got a respectable return from the Mets for Tyler Rogers, and they sent closer Camilo Doval to the Yankees for four prospects. Then in a bit of a surprise they flipped outfielder Mike Yastrzemski to the Royals.

Led by the Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers, these five teams ended up losing Thursday's MLB trade deadline.
