Cubs land Holmes and Taylor in Mets trade for top prospect Rojas

The Cubs acquired Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor from the Mets in exchange for infield prospect Jefferson Rojas. Holmes, a 33-year-old reliever-turned-starter, is coming off a strong 2025 season (12-8, 3.53 ERA, 31 starts) and is rehabbing a broken right fibula with a $12 million player option for 2027. Taylor has been raking since returning from the injured list, batting .354/.436/.875 with seven homers in 55 plate appearances this year, and owns a .241/.290/.503 line over 159 PA overall. Rojas, 21, Baseball America’s No. 99 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 63, hit .270/.339/.461 with 15 homers, 19 doubles and 17 steals in Double-A Knoxville in 2026, and can play third base/shortstop.

Cubs add Holmes and Taylor in Mets swap for prospect Rojas

The Cubs acquired right-hander Clay Holmes and outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the Mets for top-infield prospect Jefferson Rojas, with the deal contingent on Holmes passing a medical review after his IL stint from a broken fibula. Holmes’ strong 2.39 ERA this season and elite ground-ball rate, paired with Taylor’s power and defense, give Chicago depth while Rojas, a 21-year-old Double-A prospect, heads to New York as part of the deadline swap.

Cubs land Holmes, Taylor from Mets in exchange for Rojas, boosting rotation depth

The Cubs are acquiring Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor from the Mets for infield prospect Jefferson Rojas, with the deal pending medical review. Holmes, coming back from a fibula fracture, is a veteran starter with strong groundball tendencies who could bolster Chicago’s rotation, while Taylor provides versatile outfield defense and pop. Rojas, a 21-year-old prospect in Double-A, heads to New York as the centerpiece of the return as both clubs reshape their rosters at the deadline.

Brewers in the Hunt for Holmes as MLB Deadline Nears

With the trade deadline approaching, the Mets are fielding inquiries on right-hander Clay Holmes, and Milwaukee is among the teams interested as a potential fix for a rotation hit by injuries. Holmes, who signed a three-year, $38 million deal with the Mets and hasn’t pitched since May due to a fractured fibula, offers strong ground balls and a 3.26 ERA over 218 1/3 innings but carries a $12 million option for 2025 that tempers his value. Milwaukee’s rotation depth, backed by young arms like Misiorowski and Harrison, could benefit from Holmes if the price fits and salary considerations are manageable.

Mets Roaming Trade Waters as Holmes, Peralta Draw Interest; Alvarez, Torrens in Catcher Market

Scouts from seven teams watched Clay Holmes' rehab start for the Mets, keeping Holmes as a prime trade piece while New York also has Freddy Peralta in play as it weighs rotation assets; Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens are drawing catcher-market interest, though the Mets are likely to hold Torrens for his defense and staff value, and Alvarez would command a steep return given his club control. Overall, the Mets appear positioned as sellers with multiple rotation pieces under consideration as the trade window nears.

Cubs Chase Holmes Amid Injury-Timed Deadline Countdown

The Chicago Cubs are pursuing Mets pitcher Clay Holmes as a rental for the MLB trade deadline, drawn to his elite groundball rate despite his current fractured-leg injury. Holmes is slated for a Triple-A rehab start, with a tight timetable that could force a rapid big‑league return and evaluation before the deadline. His $12 million 2027 option adds complexity, but he’s considered the strongest rental target among Cubs options; the main risk is the injury timeline limiting a potential deal.

Mets' Holmes fractures fibula, sidelined for a long stretch

Mets pitcher Clay Holmes fractured his right fibula after being struck by a Spencer Jones line drive, forcing him out for a long stretch. Holmes stayed in to finish the inning and was removed after walking Jazz Chisholm Jr.; an X-ray confirmed the fracture. The injury deepens the Mets’ rotation depth issues as Senga and Manaea have injuries or inconsistencies, with minors like Jonah Tong and Jack Wenninger considered for depth and Francisco Alvarez the only player with a defined return timetable (about two months).

Mets' Holmes sidelined long-term after fractured fibula

Mets right-hander Clay Holmes fractured his right fibula on a liner in the fourth inning of a 5-2 loss to the Yankees and will be out for a long time, likely prompting an injured list move. Holmes had a 2.39 ERA over 52 2/3 innings this season and relies on ground balls, making his absence a significant blow as the Mets cope with rotation injuries (Senga, Hagenman) and an underwhelming offense. With Holmes out, the Mets could lean on Nolan McLean, Peralta, and Christian Scott, or bring in Sean Manaea or No. 2 prospect Jonah Tong to help soak up innings.
