BREAKING NEWS: Iam Disappointed”, Baltimore Orioles Superstar outfielder Cedric Mullins Slam’s……
In a surprising and emotional turn of events, Baltimore Orioles All-Star outfielder Cedric Mullins publicly voiced his frustration with the team’s front office on Monday morning, saying he feels “disappointed” and “let down” by recent decisions that could alter the trajectory of the franchise’s playoff hopes.
The comments came during a post-game media availability following Sunday’s 6–2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays — the team’s fourth straight defeat. When asked about the recent trade of veteran second baseman Jorge Mateo and lack of pitching reinforcements at the deadline, Mullins did not hold back.
> “I’m disappointed. We’ve fought hard all year, put ourselves in a good position, and now it feels like we’re being asked to do more with less,” Mullins said, visibly frustrated. “The fans deserve better. We deserve better.”
Mullins, who’s hitting .287 with 19 home runs and 61 RBIs this season, has been a cornerstone of the Orioles’ rebuild. His leadership on and off the field has made him a fan favorite — and his rare public criticism carries serious weight.
A Club at a Crossroads
Baltimore entered the 2025 season with postseason expectations after two consecutive playoff appearances. But despite a strong first half, the team’s front office has taken a cautious approach at the trade deadline, opting not to pursue a high-impact starter and instead dealing away key clubhouse veteran Mateo for prospects.
The decision has baffled players and fans alike.
> “We’re not rebuilding anymore,” Mullins continued. “This is our window. This is the time to go for it.”
Sources inside the clubhouse have confirmed that multiple players share Mullins’ concerns, though few have spoken out publicly.
Orioles Front Office Responds
General Manager Mike Elias responded late Monday afternoon, issuing a short statement:
> “We appreciate Cedric’s passion and leadership. Every decision we make is with the long-term success of the organization in mind. We continue to believe in this team’s ability to contend.”
Still, with tensions rising and the team slipping in the standings, pressure is mounting on Elias and Orioles ownership to act before the July 31 trade deadline.
What’s Next?
Mullins’ comments may serve as a rallying cry — or a sign of deeper unrest behind the scenes. For now, the Orioles remain just two games back in the AL East, but with a tough schedule ahead, their playoff dreams may hinge not j
ust on performance — but on unity.
