The New York Yankees are losing pitcher Clay Holmes to the rival Mets, and the AL East team’s fans don’t seem to mind.
Holmes is getting a 3-year, $38 million deal from the Mets, who plan to use him as a starter.
Though he was an All-Star in 2022 and 2024, Yankees fans apparently won’t miss the stress Holmes put them through. Many of them celebrated his departure.

Holmes has gone 24-22 with 74 saves and a 3.71 ERA over his seven seasons in the big leagues. In 2024 he went 3-5 with a 3.14 ERA and 30 saves. The Mets have plans to turn him into a starter. As some joked, now he’ll be able to give fans a heart attack earlier in games rather than later.
