The Miami Marlins<\/a> swung a big trade this offseason with the Chicago Cubs<\/a> and another with the New York Yankees<\/a>, involving two of their starting pitchers.<\/p>\n

While Sandy Alcantara and Eury Perez stayed in Miami, Edward Cabrera was sent to Chicago, landing a package headlined by Owen Caissie. The other deal with the Yankees, however, hasn’t looked as good as that Cubs deal.<\/p>\n

As Zachary Rotman of Fansided.com<\/a> noted, the Marlins trade of Ryan Weathers to the Yankees is a move they regret, and are “paying the price” for amid Weather’s 2.81 ERA start to 2026.<\/p>\n

Marlins ‘paying the price’ for Ryan Weathers trade<\/p>\n

“I understood the idea of trading Weathers, a pitcher who hadn’t quite put it all together at the big league level and had dealt with some injuries, but a Marlins team on the rise, trading him for only prospects, didn’t make much sense, and they’re paying the price for that, at least right now,” Rotman writes.<\/p>\n

The Marlins dealt Weathers to the Yankees for four prospects: Dylan Jasson, Brendan Jones, Dillon Lewis, and Juan Matheus.<\/p>\n

All of those prospects are still in the minor leagues and have yet to help the Marlins as Caissie has for Miami from their Cabrera trade with the Cubs.<\/p>\n

In three starts and 16 innings for the Yankees, Weathers has a 2.81 ERA with 18 strikeouts and a 146 ERA+.<\/p>\n

With the Marlins on the rise, having someone like Weathers as part of the rotation would’ve been a nice plus.<\/p>\n

Instead, they have four prospects who’ve yet to make the Majors, and starts like Chris Paddack and Janson Junk pitching to mediocre at-best starts to the year.<\/p>\n

This move is one that the Marlins might regret right now, but it would not be a surprise if things turned around if one or multiple of these prospects made the Majors in the future.<\/p>\n
