"The Yankees finally picked up some of the pitching depth they were looking for, acquiring left-hander Ryan Weathers from the Miami Marlins for a package of four prospects. Infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus, and outfielders Dillon Lewis and Brendan Jones are going back Miami's way. Lewis had been at the top of the Marlins' priority list, as they inquired about him in talks regarding fellow starting pitcher Edward Cabrera, who was dealt to the Chicago Cubs last week."
"Weathers, though, is still seen as a high upside starter despite being 26 years old. He was limited to just eight starts last season due to flexor and lat strains, posting a 3.99 ERA with 37 strikeouts with 12 walks in 38.1 innings pitched. Across parts of five seasons in the big leagues, he is 12-23 with a 4.93 ERA. Over the last year, though, he upped the average speed of his fastball to 96.8 mph, which ranked in the 86th percentile of all MLB pitchers in 2025."
The Yankees acquired left-hander Ryan Weathers from the Miami Marlins for four prospects: infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus, and outfielders Dillon Lewis and Brendan Jones. Weathers, 26, is viewed as a high-upside starter despite flexor and lat strains that limited him to eight starts last season, when he posted a 3.99 ERA with 37 strikeouts and 12 walks in 38.1 innings. He is 12-23 with a 4.93 ERA across parts of five seasons. His fastball averaged 96.8 mph (86th percentile in 2025) and a near-7% walk rate over two seasons gives a workable profile. He adds rotation insurance while Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon begin 2026 on the injured list and could slot as a No. 5 starter.
