One person who reacted to the news was Mets superstar Juan Soto (via SNY Mets).
Soto: “It’s tough man, it’s tough. Clay is a guy who shows up every day. One of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen in my career… It’s really sad… We’re gonna support him, we’re gonna be right there for him, in any kind of way that he needs us. But it just sucks.”

Holmes (who is in his second season with the Mets) is one of the most valuable players on the team.
He is 4-4 with a 2.39 ERA in nine games this year.
