The New York Mets are having a nightmare season, though it's far from over, and they could turn things around and try to sneak into the postseason.
However, if things continue to go south, it would not be a surprise if the Mets wound up as sellers at the trade deadline. If they do sell, teams will likely be eyeing their starting rotation.
While Freddy Peralta might draw a lot of attention, Robert Murray of Fansided.com believes that 1.69 ERA righty starter Clay Holmes isn't just a trade candidate, but he has a chance to be one of the most sought-after arms on the market.
"In fact, he could be one of the most coveted arms on the entire market if he is, in fact, available," Murray writes.
With the Mets possibly drawing heated interest with Holmes, if things do continue to go south, the Mets should very seriously consider trading the righty for a huge return at this year's deadline.
