Even with heavy interest around the league ahead of Monday’s trade deadline, the Mets decided to run Clay Holmes out for one last rehab appearance Sunday.
The big righty went out and threw five-plus innings in front of a handful of potential suitors in Brooklyn.
The Diamondbacks, Phillies, Rays, and Rangers were the four teams with scouts in attendance for the outing, according to Joel Sherman of the NY Post.
Holmes gave up a single to the first batter he faced, but needed just five pitches to erase that, as a fly out and double-play ball helped him breeze through the inning.
Winston-Salem got on the board with runs each of the next four innings, though.
Holmes was hurt by an error in the third, and stolen bases in both the fourth and fifth, before his day came to an end with a man on-base in the top of the sixth.
Overall, he allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits while striking out three.
This is expected to be Holmes' final outing in the organization this season, as he said himself that being moved seems the most likely outcome ahead of the deadline.
If that's the case, the 32-year-old was tremendous during his two years as a Met.
New York took a chance on his transition to the rotation last offseason and he responded by becoming one of their most reliable arms, racking up a 3.26 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 42 outings.
