The Mets have agreed to a three-year, $38 million contract with right-handed pitcher Clay Holmes, pending a physical, per Joel Sherman. The Mets intend to convert Holmes, who has spent the vast majority of his major league career as a relief pitcher, into a starting pitcher.
The 31-year-old made his major league debut with the Pirates in 2018 and put up a 5.57 ERA in 119.2 innings in Pittsburgh before he was dealt to the Yankees shortly before the trade deadline in 2021.
And following that trade, Holmes flourished. Over the course of 217.
