The New York Mets are sellers, and Clay Holmes has become one of the most intriguing arms on the market. Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, while the possibility remains that the Mets and Holmes agree to an extension, there is a significantly greater likelihood of a trade, according to people familiar with the situation. That is despite Holmes telling The Athletic's Will Sammon and Tim Britton that he is "definitely open" to staying in New York. At 43-60 and 9.5 games out of a Wild Card spot, ...

This game is why games like Monday hurt. Sometimes, it just isn’t your night. Tigers pitching stifled the Cubs Wednesday night. The result was a non-competitive 5-1 loss.
