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.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
Infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus, and outfielders Dillon Lewis and Brendan Jones are going back Miami\u2019s way.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
Lewis had been at the top of the Marlins\u2019 priority list, as they inquired about him in talks regarding fellow starting pitcher Edward Cabrera<\/a>, who was dealt to the Chicago Cubs last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n 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.\u00a0Across parts of five seasons in the big leagues, he is 12-23 with a 4.93 ERA.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Over the last year, though, he upped the average speed of his fastball to 96.8 mph, which ranked in the 86th percentile<\/a> of all MLB pitchers in 2025. His walk rate over the past two seasons is hovering near 7%, which is an above-average figure to work with.<\/p>\n It provides some insurance at the bottom of the Yankees\u2019 rotation with Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon beginning the 2026 season on the injured list. Even upon their return, he\u2019s a candidate to stay on as a No. 5 starter behind the likes of Max Fried and Cam Schlittler.\u00a0<\/p>\n
