New York Mets right-hander Clay Holmes says his next pitching appearance is uncertain as the Aug. 3, 2026 MLB trade deadline approaches. According to Yahoo Sports reporting, the Mets have told other teams that Holmes is available for a possible trade. That availability means Holmes could be moved at any point before the deadline, leaving his immediate role with the Mets in flux. Both reports describe the same situation: the team’s trade discussions create uncertainty about where and when he will pitch next. Holmes addresses that he does not know what his schedule will look like if he is traded, and he focuses on dealing with the lack of clarity around his next outing. The Mets’ stance and the market for his services frame the timeline, but neither outlet specifies a trade has been agreed or announced. As a result, Holmes’ short-term status depends on whether the Mets complete a deal or keep him through the deadline.
