He still hasn't allowed an earned run through 16 outings to start the season. AP By Max Goodman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com NEW YORK — Fixing the Yankees ' offense was understandably at the top of the organization's to-do list heading into this past offseason. That meant widespread turnover in the bullpen — the only consistent and effective position group from last year's disappointing campaign — was poised to fly under the radar when assessing the Yankees' winter.

New York has had one of the best bullpens in baseball over the last few seasons and one of the biggest reasons why has been the success of closer Clay Holmes. He may not have the biggest name in the world, but he has become a star since joining the Yankees.

When the Yankees first acquired Clay Holmes from the Pirates midway through the 2021 season, the trade didn't receive much fanfare. The long grind of an MLB season requires depth moves, and Holmes appeared to be nothing more. Fast forward to present day and Holmes has established himself as one of baseball's most reliable closers, a job he seized from Aroldis Chapman during the 2022 season. An All-Star that year, Holmes entered Thursday's series finale against the A's with a 2.32 ERA and 53 saves over 165 games with the Yankees.

AP By Randy Miller | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com NEW YORK — Clay Holmes craves the same thing Yankees fans desire when it's the time to win a close game.

| 3/05/24 | Clay Holmes isn't letting Yankees contract uncertainty distract him from ultimate prize. Dressed in a camouflage button down with pristine white shoes sticking out from under his slacks, Yankees closer Clay Holmes took questions from three reporters in the visiting clubhouse at Clover Park on Tuesday afternoon. Like his spotless inning of work in a 5-4 loss to the Mets — a smooth first outing of the spring — Holmes was efficient as he swiftly retired the side. Asked about the strength of the Yankees' bullpen after the departures of Wandy Peralta and Michael King, Holmes didn't skip a beat. Between the familiar faces, newbies and non-roster invitees at camp this spring, Holmes has no doubt that the league's best bullpen from a year ago can reestablish that same dominance.

Personally, this is the first World Series that I can remember watching with next to no rooting interest going in, so it'll be interesting to see who can outperform the other and claim the Commissioner's Trophy.

In a season full of low lights, the Yankees may found a way to top themselves with perhaps their worst loss of the year in Miami on Sunday.

| 7/23/23 | Key Yankees reliever could lose bullpen spot if struggles continue. With reliever Jonathan Loáisiga beginning to throw against live hitters, scheduled to pitch in a rehab assignment next weekend, the Yankees need to start thinking of who they're going to take out of their bullpen when he's ready to return from the injured list. It won't be closer Clay Holmes or high-leverage arms Michael King, Wandy Peralta and Tommy Kahnle.

| 6/15/23 | Why the Yankees should (but won't) make a bid for Cubs' Marcus Stroman at MLB trade deadline. Over the next 47 days, before the trade deadline arrives on Aug. 1, the Yankees will determine what sort of pitching they'll need to add to their roster for the postseason push. For a while, it appeared they would need a proven closer, but Clay Holmes might have worked the kinks out of his delivery and is dominating like he did in the first half of last season, when he was named to the All-Star Game. If Holmes can reclaim the closer's role he lost, the Yankees could switch their attention to the rotation. Stroman, 32, is in the second year of a three-year, $71 million contract with the Cubs, and he wants more money and security. Source: https://www.nj.com/yankees/2023/06/why-the-yankees... |
