The New York Mets have signed Clay Holmes to a three-year, $38 million contract, intending to utilize him as a starting pitcher despite his history as a closer with the Yankees. Holmes has a strong groundball rate and a diverse pitch arsenal, but concerns about his command persist.

His transition to starting could mirror Michael King's success, but Holmes must improve his strike zone control to avoid returning to a relief role. Fantasy managers may find him a risky but potentially valuable asset if he can establish consistency.
