New York Mets starting pitcher Clay Holmes is currently on a rehab assignment in Triple-A Syracuse. The 33-year-old is recovering from a fractured right fibula that he sustained back in May.
While eyeing a return, the idea of a contract extension doesn’t look likely for the Mets and Holmes. The injured righty is on his final year under contract in New York before facing a $12 million player option for 2027.
A contract extension doesn’t appear to be where the momentum has shifted, says SNY’s Chelsea Janes. This report seems to suggest that Clay Holmes’s future is trending towards a possible trade.
“As of this exact moment, there is no extension. There’s no reason to believe one is coming,” Janes said on Honda SportsNite. “If (an extension) doesn’t happen, I think what you’re looking at is a trade scenario. There should be a lot of interested teams.”
