Mets consider trade options for Clay Holmes ahead of deadline
Summary

The New York Mets are exploring trade options for pitcher Clay Holmes as the August 3 deadline approaches. With their postseason chances dwindling, the Mets are anticipated to be active sellers. Holmes has a 2.39 ERA this season, returning from a fractured fibula. His upcoming rehab start is expected to attract scouts from various teams, increasing his trade value. Given his performance as a starter and a $12 million option for 2027, Holmes may look to enter free agency if not extended.
