The Orioles took another step in their rebuilding effort today, giving center fielder Cedric Mullins his long-awaited promotion to the major leagues.
Mullins, who will wear No. 3, is joining the O’s in Baltimore, where he will presumably be installed as the Birds’ everyday center fielder for the foreseeable future. That, of course, means Adam Jones — who has held that center field spot in Baltimore for the last decade — will be moving to a corner spot. The beat writers reported that Jones was taking fly balls in right field during O’s warmups on the club’s just-completed road trip.
