Clay Holmes Trade Deadline Watch | New York Mets News

Clay Holmes’ rehab hopes hit a snag when rain canceled his planned Brooklyn start, forcing him into a private bullpen instead—just as the Mets quietly shop their roster ahead of the August 3 deadline. Once a top-tier starter with elite stats before a May leg injury, Holmes now faces an uncertain market: no longer untouchable, but still a rental with opt-out rights. Scouts are waiting to see if his recent rehab session can spark interest, especially since he hasn’t pitched since May—unlike Shane Bieber, who traded last summer after rehab starts. With his next rehab outing looming, Holmes could either return to the Mets or be shipped off for a prospect, depending on how teams view his comeback.
