The New York Mets plan to sell at the 2026 MLB trade deadline, with trade discussions centered on their starting pitchers. While Freddy Peralta's struggles this season have raised questions about his trade value, ESPN's Jeff Passan identifies Clay Holmes as the Mets' most valuable asset despite Holmes currently being on the injured list. Holmes has performed well with a 2.39 ERA, and teams view him as a coveted option coming off injury for the remainder of the season. Peralta has a 4.99 ERA and remains valuable due to his potential but is not seen as the top asset among pitchers available for trade.
