🚨 BREAKING: Cedric Mullins Signs With Mets, Says He Wanted to Escape Orioles’ Playlist First 😭🎶

In a move that has both baseball insiders and Spotify curators scrambling, star outfielder Cedric Mullins has officially signed with the New York Mets, but not for the reasons fans expected.

While analysts speculated that his motivation would be a bigger market, a deeper playoff push, or perhaps a fatter contract, Mullins surprised everyone during his press conference by saying:

“Honestly? I just couldn’t take one more week of hearing ‘Sweet Caroline’ at 8 a.m. in the clubhouse. It was psychological warfare.”

The Playlist Problem 🎵

Sources inside the Orioles organization have confirmed that the team’s pre-game playlist, curated by a mysterious “anonymous clubhouse DJ” (rumored to be a bullpen coach with a deep love for 2000s pop), had grown “increasingly aggressive” in recent months.

Tracklist highlights reportedly included:

• “Call Me Maybe” – on repeat
• An EDM remix of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”
• And, inexplicably, Nickelback’s greatest hits… every Tuesday.

Mullins, though known for his cool demeanor, began showing subtle signs of distress—lip-syncing with fake joy, flinching at the first notes of Pitbull, and once reportedly faking an injury just to leave the room during a “High School Musical” singalong.

Mets Offer Freedom and Fresh Beats

The Mets swooped in with a promising deal—not just financially, but musically. Insiders say the team sent Mullins a custom playlist during negotiations titled “No Nickelback, We Swear.”

“It felt like home,” Mullins said. “They opened with Kendrick, sprinkled in some OutKast, and ended with silence—which honestly felt like a gift.”

Orioles Respond With… Another Playlist?

In response, the Orioles have reportedly “revamped” their music culture. Sources confirm a new DJ has taken over (believed to be a rookie who listens to jazz), and they’ve launched a PR campaign titled: “The Birds Have New Beats.”

But the damage may already be done.

Social Media Reactions 🔥

• @MLBMemes: “Mullins really left a 100-win team because of Taylor Swift? Respect.”
• @MetsFanForever: “Finally, we attract talent AND have better taste. LFG.”
• @PitchClockPapi: “Imagine losing your All-Star to Spotify beef. Orioles cooked themselves.”

Closing Thoughts

While some question whether music alone drove the decision, one thing is certain: Cedric Mullins is free—and he’s now batting leadoff with AirPods firmly in place.

Let the Mets era begin. No more “Party in the USA.” 🎧
