SHOULD THE CUBS KEEP CLAY HOLMES LONG-TERM?!

Should the Chicago Cubs keep Clay Holmes long-term? Since arriving from the New York Mets at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, Holmes has quickly emerged as one of the Cubs' most reliable starting pitchers, posting a 2.09 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over 81.2 innings this season. With Holmes dominating in the Cubs rotation and showing why Chicago made the aggressive move to acquire him, the big question is whether the Cubs should keep him beyond 2026 and exercise his 2027 player option.
