The New York Mets have been busy this offseason. They brought back slugger Pete Alonso amid rumors of him signing elsewhere. Most notably, the Mets signed Juan Soto to a historic 15-year contract worth $765 million.

Holmes struggled for the Yankees last season despite making the All-Star team, as he led the league with 13 blown saves. The 31-year-old then signed a three-year, $38 million deal with the Mets in December and converted to a starter.

Holmes has made all of four big-league starts, all of them as a rookie with the Pirates in 2018. He shifted to the bullpen in 2019 with Pittsburgh, eventually flourishing into an All-Star closer with the Yankees. He’s made an even 300 relief appearances since his last start.
