let’s get into the breaking news that is Clay Holmes has officially signed with the New York Mets on a three-year $38 million deal right around 12.6 average annual value as this is part of our live stream that we’re already live for breaking down the latest big Mets updates on Wan stto and everything between the sweep Stakes but now we have to cut away and talk a bit here on Kay Holmes and the acquisition that is him here for the amazing and why Mets fan should have optimism here and while there is of course going to be pessimism especially with a reliever that blew a lot of blown saves this past season for the Yankees to move out of the closer roll fans are initially going to grabbed on to that and say I don’t like this pickup but the reality is the Mets are signing clay Holmes as a starter type with a fallback option as a setup man for Edwin Diaz Holmes is one of the better relievers in all the American League that we’ve seen for the past number of years the Ty 6’5 250 pounder at 31 years of age ersg will fall with the Mets after having a 3.14 yearr this past season in 67 games 63 Innings there we saw a just under 10k per n to right around a three walk so a solid K toalk ratio for Holmes and now you were entering Klay Holmes where if the Mexicans stretch him as a starter like what we saw were Ronaldo Lopez on a yearly similar contract just for some context everybody the Atlanta Braves who have prided themselves in recent history on getting the best out of relievers turn starters first started with Spencer Strider a couple seasons ago then this past year they pick up Ronaldo Lopez on a 3year $30 million deal the Mets now pick up Clay Holmes on a 3year $38 million deal are hopeing Hing for similarity Ronaldo Lopez was an ace calber pitcher throughout the first half of the regular season before he dealt with Elma there for the Atlanta Braves when we look at other starters that became a starter through being a reliever for a while we look at again even former New York Yankee in which Klay Holmes knows well and Desi droll who who is now the Mets assistant pitching coach that Klay Holmes actively worked with in 2024 and 2023 at minimum there with the Yanks and Desi Michael Kane a fantastic example of a reliever turn starter having success even getting Sayan votes now with the San Diego Padre’s former met former Padre now Kansas City Royal Seth Lugo one of the most dominant starters in all the American League this past season giving length as a veteran right-hander going from a starter to a reliever we look at countless other examples including newcomers and gar crochet at dominant Southpaw who will likely be traded this offseason by the white sock hopefully to our Mets but all seriousness G crochet a dominant southa who started as a reliever now turn stretched into a star the list goes on from there even guys and if I’m not mistaken Blake latell if that’s how you say his name there starter turned as a reliever from the Tampa Bay Ray this past season former San Francisco Giant for a couple years remember him when he got basically yapping at and was thrown out of the game by Gabe kapper they had a testy back and forth when he was pulled off the mound a couple years ago yes that latel he had success against some Mets and others in the American League and that dominant American League E the point is is that there are a lot of fans are initially going to write off something of this nature when in my opinion Kay Holmes who’s been one of the most dominant and one of the more consistent relievers in Major League Baseball yes he has blown a bunch of saves but the Mets don’t need him to be a save artist at all they have Edwin Diaz on that $100 million contract they need a true setup man a guy who has bided deep playoff runs a guy who knows what it takes to win and a guy who can handle High leverage situations even if he’s flouted at times we know that Klay Holmes knows what it takes to win and a step up in New York and now he has the prime opportunity to do exactly that this time not in the Bronx with the Yankees and are fans this time in Flushing Queens with former bench boss with the Yankees Carlos Mendoza recently lateral moved from the Yankees to the Mets there and Desi Drew scor your shell however however you pronounce his last name ouru Mets assistant pitching coach who works heavily on Pitch shape they’re going to work tirelessly that we’re going to see with Klay Holmes this year and I’m Dam excited because he’s got one of the best sinkers in the game he’s the only guy that is a right-hander at his size at his frame that has the kind of peripherals that he has with his Sinker there that sits right around we see 97 mph he’s in the 88th percentile and fball velocity this past season clay Holmes he’s in the 84th percenti on wh percentage 67 percentile on K percentage 84th in Barrel percentage 69th and hardit percentage one 100th and ground ball percentage everyone’s ground balling in the case of clay Holmes here 80th percenti expected earray 86 percentile on breaking run value fast bow run value was in the 20th percentile so some work there but again when you’re a sinker slider sweeper guy the triple SES which we love to call them on the platform that checks off every box for yes you guessed it Germany have eer Desi and yes of course Carlos Mendoza David Sterns we saw throughout David Stern’s first run with the Mets as poo his first year what did we see a lot of with relievers and even starters to a degree a lot of guys had sinkers they had splits they had sweeps and that is exactly what you’re getting here pretty much with a sinker slider sweep o Trio there with the Mets and Clay holes I love this I want guys that not only want to play New York but want to be here I want guys that want to be in Queens obviously I want guys that hopefully we can see the best out of now as a starter Klay Holmes is only 31 years of age and I have a great feeling that he’s going to be stretched out as a quality starter for the Mets and here’s the thing even if Klay Holmes won as a starter is more of a five and dive because maybe you really can’t handle the length that’s going to take to be a starter which he hasn’t been since his 2018 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates like everyone else I mean gar Cole Tyler glass now you name it there’s a lot of arms Trevor Williams former Mets Legend was a part of the mix there back in the day but what you bring in Klay Holmes is a man who’s looking to bounce back off of what was initially a dominant closer to them becoming a setup man in lesser leverage situations for the Yankees losing the job to Luke Weaver he’s not get a chance to really shake things up a bit get back to being right and get back to hopefully now for the first time in his career being a successful starter and the best part of it all everybody and this is why I have such little grips with something like this for a guy that has right around a flat threeyear Ray over the past four years is that if clay Holmes does not succeed as a starter if Klay Holmes does not look right in this position that is perfectly fine why because the Mets can just opt to put him back in the bullpen where he’s been dominating the past number of years this time as Edwin Diaz’s go-to setup man so now this completely changes changes the complexion in the bullpen and that in fact becomes the case with guys at denil Nunes Jose budo Etc the Mets will have to defer to them less should Holmes become a reliever for the Mets at any point in the season and if this really maxes out if you really get the success level you’re looking for what does this mean Klay Holmes becomes a formidable starter in this rotation for the Mets Nei a five or six man which I do believe that to an extent they may stretch it to be a six-man rotation that being in clay Holmes mainly because of what we also saw with the perils and the numbers look uh Frankie Monas who they officially signed to a deal today they announced he had his presser I should say rather and he’s recruiting sha manah that we spoke previously in our live stream on right now the time of recording is 8:26 p.m. December 6th everybody I know we got some remarks I’m going to get into in a second but I definitely want to know your continued thoughts molding clay into a starter thank you so much for the donation I love the word play there that was tremendous Greg thank you so much for the gift of membership that’s fantastic really appreciate the generosity there my man seems like you’re happy Mets land with Clay Holmes I also apologize if I missed anyone’s comments or U specifically donations prior that is not intentional unfortunately that happens at times including Jason buy earlier in the chat thank you so much for the $5 Halla I really appreciate that but clay Holmes now enters the fold for the Mets here there’s endless familiarity cross town Rivals between the Yanks and the Mets with Mendoza Desi and everyone else in company they lost Lou srino they gain clay home so we live to see another day and again folks the Mets are not done adding to their rotation they’re not done adding to pitching they’re going to make more inevitable pardon me inevitable pitching moves as soon as over the next 24 hours or so before we find out where WTO lands I’m inclined to believe this will probably be the last big move the Mets make until we find out what happens with Juan stto we also hope obviously that this is not the only former Yankee that lands in Queens at any point over the next 24 48 72 hours catch my drift clay has a familiar this past season with Juan obviously the blown saves weren’t great but he can say Juan I’m a starter now you don’t got to worry about that all right I’ll be a five and dive and even if the Mets go to Clay Holmes as say a five and dive pitcher the reason why that doesn’t concern me either as of now at least is that they’re expected to add more depth in that area if they land Mike Soka which they can utilize as a reliever or starter tremendous reliever numbers horrendous starter numbers in his past season but can be worked on he’s only 27 years of age that could be a pickup where you have them kind of backto back if want to go about that should you want to see how those guys only pitch four or five innings cuz you really can’t get more out of them we’ll find out how the Mets go about homes come spring training there as we get to February but in the interim welcome to Queens clay homes we are happy to have you here I know the Yanks didn’t love you this past season with the blown Steves but I think we’re going to be perfectly fine with your usage and at the end of the day if it doesn’t work you’ll go back to being the reliever that you’ve been this time and not high leverage high high stake situations every single time like the way you were constantly for a long period of time with the Yankees as their closer for a bit but guys let me know your continued thoughts here Mark feinan just tweets so the Mets have sign a Yankees Allstar the question now is whether they will do it again in the coming days God willing that is all we could hope for right now everybody but let me just double check here to make sure that I didn’t miss anything on this front before we continue to break more down again I absolutely love the fact that the Mets were able to land someone as close as what Holmes is because one thing that David Stern had a very heavy point of emphasis with that we’ve heard from the time he first was hired by the Mets at the Trad dead line then leading into now this off season is the ality with not only wanting players who want to be here but players who have already have had success in New York either with the mats in the past or with the Yankees that’s important playoff success entering playoffs having a taste of what it’s like in the big Spotlight is very important and also having guys are willing to adapt willing to adjust and also a strong personality that is not going to go against what the clubhouse are currently building there for the Mets for 2025 Holmes checks off literally every single box that they are looking for I has they play Holmes a lot of credit as well we know that he’s been dominating overall for the Yankees the past couple years but we’ve seen this continued story with some guys getting traded especially from the Pittsburgh Pirates and say Jameson tyion for example where they have some success there in the Bronx and then they want nothing to do with New York again you know they’re less inclined to come back to New York they rather smaller markets I give a lot of props to Clay holes a lot of kones to be staying here in New York where the big Market’s going to be big the media is going to be insane especially God will if the meican go and land his former teammate from the 2024 season everybody uh let me double check to make sure that I didn’t didn’t miss anything here I don’t believe that I did everybody so yes you have the Sinker the slider and the sweeper which is all fascinating I do have some more notes they actually want to share here on Holmes when it comes to uh his Sinker in particular if I can pull it up right now let me see if I find it at the moment Sinker okay I do have it awesome okay and I want to give a big shout out as well oh I’m G to butcher the name I believe his name is Lance brzowski I apologize if I butcher that a little bit Lance does a very good job um with you know Advanced information Advanced metrics there one evaluating pictures and he a couple weeks ago came out with a YouTube video highlighting why likes clay Holmes as a starter for 2025 the Mets seem to like that video quite a bit because now they come on to sign him as a said starter and one thing that stood out a lot to me from this breakdown from Lance is the following everybody it’s the high it’s the part me the high release height is so part me is so high it gets a lot of vertical break on a sinker which is very rare very very rare for the type of frame right-handedness that he is he is the only right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball folks buckle up listen it Kay Holmes is the only right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball with a sinker higher than 6.6 feet and Below 4 in of vertical break again he’s in a class of his own when it comes to this pitch when it is deadly is perfect the Mets had endless success when it came to sinkers last year especially especially with the S and southp in which we would love to see back that being and yes you guessed it’s sha Manaya utilizing that high syn in the zone worked beautifully for him this past season clay Holmes has had endless success here with the Sinker the sweeper is absolutely lethal especially to the righty readyy batters when you really get them biting down in away now you enter clay holes in the mix for the Mets as they look to continue to make moves and this is one that I’m far from complaining but I know some of you guys are going to say oh wardy he always loves every single thing the Mets do in David stance here’s the thing I have not really been opposed much of what David stance has done so far and I feel like I deserve some credit for that considering the Mets won two game Sher World Series this past year and David Stern has had his hands on a lot of making that happen the same way David Stern is going to have his hands on a lot of whether the 2025 Mets are going to be and going forward and Carlos Mendoza so I’m really in a comfort level when it comes to Sterns and I have a trust level in him and Mendoza that not only after year one but just the optimism level I think should stay consistent I’m not going to come out here overly pessimistic even guys from Frankie Montas who you think is an overpay at 17 mil a seen seino a 22 plus mil a when Montas is projected to have a better season in 2025 then Severino has him now that’s correct per fan graphs and should that hold true who’s complaining no one’s complaining I think David STS is going to continue to prove his ability to absolutely take advantage of winning in the margins not that he’s trying to purposely Penny pinch but rather getting the best out of guys on True Value versus constantly overpaying for every guy just to have them come into Flushing Queens and not want to be here over half the time there is a different element to this and David Stern Steve Cohen Carlos mza the entire group right now are really changing uh riding the ship and for the better and the public perception that Mets have had over the past couple years so everybody continue to let me know your thoughts in the comments live and all my replay viewers how do you feel quick reaction here to the following and Clay Holmes officially signing with the New York Mets on a threeyear $38 million deal I would love to hear it
