New York Mets pitcher Clay Holmes signed a three-year, $38 million contract in December 2024, taking him across town after four seasons — and two American League All-Star game appearances — with the New York Yankees.

Holmes was spotted at the Mets’ spring training camp Monday in Port St. Lucie, Florida with an accessory unlike any that belongs to his current teammates: an equipment bag with a New York Yankees logo.

The image of a Mets pitcher carrying a Yankees bag invites the question of whether Holmes even owns a Mets bag, didn’t notice the Yankees logo when he left home Monday morning, or didn’t care.

Michael Kay noticed — and cared.

The Yankees broadcaster said Monday on his eponymous radio show on ESPN New York that Holmes disrespected his current team by bringing a Yankees bag to Mets camp.

“Show a little respect to your new organization,” Kay said. “The Mets deserve better than that. They paid you a lot of money. All you had to do was call up the Mets at some point during the offseason and say, ‘Listen, can you send me an equipment bag, so that when I come to Port St. Lucie, I’m carrying a Met equipment bag with blue and orange rather than the Yankees midnight blue and white?’

“But he didn’t do that! It’s like, players don’t think the right thing to do. It’s not right! You owe it to the Met organization, you’re a Met now, you shouldn’t be carrying a Yankee bag.” 

No word yet on what bag Holmes brought with him Tuesday or Wednesday.
