The New York Mets signed RHP Clay Holmes to a three-year $38 million deal with an opt-out after the 2026 season.

Holmes was an excellent reliver for the Yankees with a 2.69 ERA and 74 saves over 220 appearances.

However, the Mets are hoping that he will be able to transition to a starting pitcher even though he not started a game in the Major Leagues since 2018 as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

If Holmes is not able to pan out as a starter, he can still be a fine piece at the back end of the bullpen.
