The New York Yankees added lefty Ryan Weathers in a trade with the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night, per YES Network’s Jack Curry. Longtime Marlins insider Craig Mish added the Yankees would send four prospects to Miami in the deal, including center field prospect Dillon Lewis.
A former first-round pick, Weathers was drafted seventh overall by the Padres in 2018 and debuted in 2021. He was traded to Miami for Garrett Cooper in 2023 and posted a 3.99 ERA in eight starts last season.
Therein lies the concern over Weathers: health. He didn’t pitch until May last year because of a forearm strain in spring training.
