Dodgers Interested in Mets Star Pitcher
The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly expressed trade interest in New York Mets star pitcher Clay Holmes.
As the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline approaches, the Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly pursuing one of the league's top trade targets: New York Mets pitcher Clay Holmes. According to ESPN's Alden Gonzalez, the Dodgers have shown interest in Holmes, a name that aligns with the team's ongoing efforts to bolster their roster. While the focus has primarily been on Tarik Skubal, the Dodgers have also shown interest in Holmes, a starter for the Mets.
This interest is not unexpected, considering the Dodgers' need for additional high-impact pitching in their rotation ahead of the playoffs. Holmes' performance last season was impressive, with a 4-4 record, a 2.39 ERA, and 45 strikeouts in nine starts before suffering a fractured fibula in May. Even in 2025, he was notable, posting a 12-8 record, a 3.53 ERA, and 129 strikeouts in 33 appearances.
Holmes' statistics make him a valuable addition to the Dodgers' already strong roster. Whether the Dodgers will complete a deal for Holmes before the trade deadline remains to be seen, but his potential acquisition would significantly enhance their chances in the postseason.
