The New York Mets have had a very disappointing season, and they will be sellers at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline because of it.
The Mets have multiple trade candidates to watch leading up to the deadline. With this, it could be a very busy few days for the NL East club.
One Mets pitcher who has been creating a lot of chatter as a trade candidate is Clay Holmes. Now, an update has been provided on the 33-year-old righty.

According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Mets are looking to find a trade partner for Holmes quickly.
"The Mets are telling teams they are prepared to trade starter Clay Holmes quickly," Nightengale wrote. "He is not scheduled to make another start before Monday’s deadline."

With the deadline getting very close and Holmes being a pending free agent, it makes sense that the Mets are ready to move him. While the nine-year veteran has not pitched for the Mets since suffering a fractured right fibula in May, he has had rehab starts and is nearing his return. Due to this, he should generate a lot of interest between now and the deadline.
Teams looking for starting pitching help should be in the mix for Holmes. Before getting injured, he was very good the Mets this season, posting a 4-4 record and a 2.39 ERA in nine appearances. This is after he had a 12-8 record, a 3.53 ERA, and 129 strikeouts last season for the Mets.
It will now be interesting to see where Holmes ends up being moved. A trade seems very likely at this juncture.
