NY Mets can’t possibly think struggling Yankees pitcher is their next Clay Holmes

Weeks before he was struggling to get through an inning in the playoffs, New York Yankees reliever Luke Weaver was a candidate to go into this offseason with a bold goal in mind. Following in the same footsteps as New York Mets pitcher Clay Holmes, he was going to revert back to being a starter again.

Much like Holmes, the welcome is wearing out in the Bronx as a high-leverage reliever. If you’ve shut off your television since the MLB playoffs began, you might have missed how Weaver has recorded just one out in 3 appearances while allowing 5 earned runs.
