Don’t worry, Yankees fans. You soon won’t have Clay Holmes to kick around anymore.
That’s because the moment the World Series ends, Holmes will join thousands upon thousands of living Yankees ghosts. As in, he’ll hit free agency, sign with a new team, and only leave memories of his New York days. Even if the Yankees win the World Series and Holmes is the MVP, he’s gone. At 31, he’s one of the better and younger arms in a shockingly old group of upcoming free agent pitchers.
That means come spring training, unless they splurge for Tanner Scott, the Yankees will have an open in-house competition.
