NEWS FLASH: In a stunning turn of events that has left fans across the desert buzzing with emotion, Baltimore Orioles head coach Craig Albernaz has officially announced that star center fielder Cedric Mullins will be the new… starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.
Yes, you read that correctly. In a move no one saw coming, Mullins — known for his lightning speed in the outfield and on the basepaths — is trading his glove for a gridiron helmet. Sources close to the Orioles organization confirm that Mullins has been secretly training with NFL coaches during the offseason, perfecting his spiral and footwork.
“He’s got the athleticism, the arm strength, and the instincts,” Albernaz said during a surprise press conference Friday afternoon. “Honestly, we were just as shocked as anyone when the Cardinals called. But if anyone can make the leap from center field to center snap, it’s Cedric.”
Fans across both leagues have flooded social media with reactions ranging from disbelief to wild excitement. One Orioles fan tweeted, “So you’re telling me my favorite baseball player is now leading an NFL offense? 2025 is wild.”
Meanwhile, the Cardinals’ locker room reportedly erupted in cheers when the news broke. “We’ve seen what he can do tracking down fly balls,” said Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown. “If he can read a defense like he reads a line drive, we’re in good shape.”
Neither the MLB nor the NFL has commented on how the dual-sport contract will be structured, but insiders speculate it could pave the way for a new era of athletic crossover.
When asked for his thoughts, Mullins simply smiled and said, “I’ve always loved a good challenge. Let’s play ball — whichever kind it is.”
