Brewers pursue Mets starter Clay Holmes after missing Tarik Skubal

The Milwaukee Brewers are actively pursuing a trade for New York Mets starting pitcher Clay Holmes following their unsuccessful attempt to acquire Tarik Skubal, who was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. With their sights set on bolstering their rotation, the Brewers are looking for depth as they strive for a postseason push. Holmes, who is currently on the injured list but has had successful rehab outings, posted a 2.39 ERA and a 4-4 record before his injury. He is under contract for two years worth $26 million, with a player option for 2027, making him a potential asset for the Brewers this season.
