Are the Yankees headed for a reunion with Clay Holmes?
The Yankees were one of several teams scouting the Mets pitcher in his rehab start for Single-A St. Lucie on Tuesday night, according to The Athletic.
According to two executives who watched his latest rehab appearance on Tuesday night, Mets starter and trade candidate Clay Holmes “looked big-league ready.”
Scouts from the New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, Tampa Bay Rays, Rangers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks were among those who flocked to Dunedin, Fla., to evaluate Holmes, out since mid-May after a fibula fracture.
Pitching for Single-A St. Lucie, Holmes threw four scoreless innings and 59 pitches. His next start lines up for Aug. 2, one day before the trade deadline. It’s not known whether that start will be for the Mets or someone else.
Holmes, 33, pitched four seasons with the Yankees from 2021-24 and was the closer before losing his job to fellow current Met Luke Weaver ahead of the 2024 World Series.
Yankees -1.5 run line is set at +119 on DraftKings for Wednesday night’s clash versus the White Sox. Our comprehensive DraftKings Sportsbook review shows you how to navigate through their platform.

“I would advise Steve Cohen...Clay Holmes knows we love him,” Joel Sherman of the New York Post said on “The Show.” “We could outbid everyone. It’s kind of like what the Yankees did with Aroldis Chapman in ‘16. They traded him and then signed him that offseason.
“I think the Mets could believe that. I would at least try to do that.”
