Clay Holmes Wants to Stay with Mets | New York Mets News

Clay Holmes, the Mets’ prized closer sidelined by a fractured fibula suffered during a game against his old team, the Yankees, is proving his loyalty despite the team’s struggles. Before the injury, he posted a stellar 2.39 ERA in nine starts and is openly eager to extend his stay in New York, even as he heads into free agency on a $12 million expiring deal. At 33, Holmes isn’t looking to flee the Mets’ current woes—he wants to be part of the solution, driven by a deep connection to the city and a desire to finish what he started. With the trade deadline looming and the Mets likely sellers, his willingness to stay could be a rare bright spot for a team in need of momentum.
