## Resource

The Nationals are hot on the wild card trail, but playoff dreams hinge on one big move: trading for Clay Holmes. The Mets’ ace reliever, sidelined since May with a fractured fibula, is primed to return and instantly become Washington’s top starter—with a 2.39 ERA this season. But his $13M salary and looming 2027 option make him a costly gamble. With the deadline looming, the Nationals must act fast—or risk missing October entirely.
