Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Clay Holmes
Briefly

"Even though his ERA (3.14), WHIP (1.30), and FIP (3.02) all ticked up in 2024 compared to his two previous seasons, some of that could be explained by bad luck and poor infield defense."
"His home run rate is extremely low, so when he blows a save, it's a 20-minute series of frustrating ground-ball singles, making you angry at both Holmes and his surrounding infielders."
"In the playoffs, he was one of the few trusted arms for Boone, appearing in 13 of the team's 14 playoff games. He got big outs and finished with a 2.25 ERA in the postseason."
"Holmes did not provide that feeling for fans last year. As loyal as Aaron Boone had been to Holmes as the closer, the final straw came on September 4th, after a disastrous outing in Texas that ended with a walk-off grand slam."
