Cubs Acquire Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor from Mets for Jefferson Rojas

The Chicago Cubs have reached a deal to acquire right‑hander Clay Holmes and outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the New York Mets. In exchange, the Cubs will send infielder Jefferson Rojas to New York.

Holmes is expected to bolster the Cubs’ bullpen with his experience as a reliever. Taylor adds outfield depth and a left‑handed bat to Chicago’s roster.

Rojas, a versatile infielder, will provide the Mets with additional in‑field options. The trade was announced during the offseason, giving both clubs time to integrate the new players before spring training.

Overall, the transaction aims to address specific roster needs for both teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
