Clay Holmes content to see how Mets’ offseason plan unfolds
NY Post
Clay Holmes is trusting that Mets officials have a grand plan this offseason that will explain the roster’s makeover.
After the departure of three core teammates in recent weeks, the veteran right-hander on Thursday indicated he’s looking forward to seeing what materializes over the remainder of the winter.
So far, president of baseball operations David Stearns has traded Brandon Nimmo and allowed Pete Alonso and Edwin Dìaz to depart through free agency.
“Those aren’t easy decisions,” Holmes said after appearing as Santa Claus at the Mets’ holiday party at Citi Field. “I don’t really know all the details behind the scenes, but to make those decisions there’s got to be some type of growth, and sometimes it can be a little bit uncomfortable, and I guess you have to trust kind of the direction they are wanting to go.”
The new Mets include Marcus Semien — who arrived from Texas in the Nimmo trade — and free-agent arrivals Jorge Polanco, Devin Williams and Luke Weaver.
Holmes shared a bullpen with Weaver with the Yankees in 2024 and said he was in contact with the right-hander before he agreed Wednesday to a two-year contract worth $22 million with the Mets.
