Mets Ink Clay Holmes for $38M, Eyeing Starter Role with Opt-Out
Dec 7, 2024, 01:18 AM
The New York Mets have reached an agreement with right-handed pitcher Clay Holmes on a three-year, $38 million contract, pending a physical. Holmes, who has spent his major league career as a reliever, will be converted into a starting pitcher by the Mets, with an opt-out clause after the second year. The deal signifies the Mets' strategy to bolster their starting rotation, potentially using Holmes as a set-up man for closer Edwin Diaz if the starter role does not work out. Holmes, coming off a tenure with the New York Yankees where he maintained a 2.85 ERA over the past three seasons, represents a significant acquisition for the Mets, aiming to leverage his strong sinker and slider in a new role.
