The New York Mets and ex-New York Yankees closer Clay Holmes have agreed to a three-year, $38 million contract pending a physical, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
The Mets will try to use Holmes as a starting pitcher, according to Sherman. If that plan falls through, then he will become the setup man for closer Edwin Díaz.
Holmes, who is entering his age-32 season, went 3-5 with a 3.14 ERA (1.30 WHIP) and 30 saves in 67 games last year. However, Holmes also blew 13 saves and lost his closer job to Luke Weaver.
