With their latest addition to a new-look rotation, the New York Mets are getting creative.

The Mets and right-hander Clay Holmes have agreed to a three-year contract worth $38 million, league sources confirmed to The Athletic. The New York Post first reported the deal, which includes an opt-out after the second year.

The Mets plan to use Holmes, the former New York Yankees closer, as a starting pitcher.

If Holmes doesn’t pan out in the rotation, the fallback option could be to have him work as a setup reliever to closer Edwin Díaz.
