The Mets officially announced the signing of Clay Holmes to a three-year deal allowing him to opt out after the second season, with a $38MM guarantee.
Holmes was inconsistent as a Pirate but broke out as a Yankees closer, saving 20 games with a 2.54 ERA, earning his first All-Star selection in 2022.
Despite a strong start in 2023 with no earned runs allowed over 13 1/3 innings, Holmes struggled with command, leading to a rocky summer, ultimately finishing as a setup man.
Holmes concluded the season with a solid 3.14 ERA over 67 innings, showcasing his excellent ground-ball rates at 65%, a key reason for the Mets' interest.
