Holmes Heals, Mets Weigh Trade | New York Mets News

Clay Holmes is heating up on his rehab assignment, tossing four shutout innings with a fastball touching 94 mph and striking out three — scouts say he’s ready for the big leagues. After fracturing his leg in May, the 33-year-old ace has been lights out when healthy, posting a 2.39 ERA and 45 Ks in 50+ innings. With his $12M option declining, he’s a top free agent target — though he wants to stay with the Mets. The team faces a tough call: trade him up before the deadline or hold him for full health. Holmes says he’s ready to compete anywhere — and the Mets will have to decide what’s best for the future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
