Mets Trade Holmes for Top Prospect | San Diego News

The Mets and Cubs just pulled off a blockbuster trade: New York sends struggling pitcher Clay Holmes and veteran outfielder Tyrone Taylor to Chicago in exchange for top infield prospect Jefferson Rojas. Holmes, once a dominant starter with a nasty sinker and sweeper, is coming off a leg injury and may be a rental. Taylor brings power and lefty-mound platoon value. The Mets, in rebuilding mode, land a high-upside, well-rounded prospect who’s crushing it at Double-A — a steal that could become their 1 prospect. The Cubs, meanwhile, get immediate MLB depth and experience to push for contention, even if it means sacrificing a future star.
