Summary
Clay Holmes, the Mets’ breakout starter who once dazzled as a Yankee reliever, is poised to make his return after a brutal fibula break — and now the Mets face a high-stakes decision: lock him up long-term or trade him for young talent before the deadline. With a player option worth $12M and a proven ground-ball machine (94th percentile!), Holmes is a coveted rental for playoff teams. His value? Huge — especially on a team with a strong defense. The Mets, meanwhile, have struggled defensively and could benefit from pairing him with a better infield. The trade route seems more likely, but the Mets’ fate hinges on whether they’re willing to gamble on his health — or cash in now.
