Mets Secure Clay Holmes from Yankees on 3-Year Deal

The New York Mets have signed former Yankees closer Clay Holmes to a three-year, $38 million contract, with plans to transition him into a starting pitcher role. The deal includes an opt-out after the second year. Holmes, who has primarily been a reliever with a 3.52 ERA and two All-Star selections, last started in 2018. The Mets, familiar with Holmes through their coaching staff, are exploring his potential as a starter amidst high market prices for pitchers.
