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.

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.
