The Mets found their center fielder.
David Stearns & Co. are trading for Baltimore’s Cedric Mullins, The Post confirmed Thursday, in a move they hope will fix their biggest position-player hole.
The Post’s Joel Sherman reported the Mets will send three righty pitching prospects to Baltimore: Anthony Nunez (their No. 14 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline), Raimon Gomez (No. 30) and Chandler Marsh (unranked).
Mullins, 30, is a veteran lefty hitter with a strong glove in center having a nice season with a .738 OPS, 15 home runs and 14 steals in 91 games.
He likely will push Jeff McNeil back to the infield and will take time or a roster spot from Tyrone Taylor, who owns just a .553 OPS.
