With a player option for $12M next year, he holds leverage — he could opt out, negotiate a long-term deal, or even be traded before the deadline, where a contender might snap him up for prospects. But Holmes seems genuinely invested in New York — if the Mets can show him a path forward, he’s ready to stick around. The ball’s in his court — and the season’s winding down.
