Clay Holmes open to extension with Mets amid trade rumors

New York Mets pitcher Clay Holmes, currently sidelined with a fractured right fibula, has expressed a willingness to sign an extension with the team despite their disappointing 2026 season. Holmes is set to become a free agent but can opt out of his contract for 2027, where he might earn more than the $12 million option. The Mets could explore trading him before the August 3 deadline as they look to reset their roster. Holmes stated his desire to contribute positively to the team, referencing a sense of unfinished business since joining the Mets after his time with the Yankees.
