Ryan Weathers traded to Yankees (source)
The Yankees are acquiring left-hander Ryan Weathers from the Marlins for four Minor Leaguers, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Tuesday. The clubs have not confirmed the move.
Weathers is the son of 19-year big league veteran David Weathers, who pitched for the Yankees for parts of two seasons from 1996-97.
The 26-year-old southpaw was a first-round pick by the Padres in the 2018 Draft, and he was traded to the Marlins in 2023. He is under club control for the next three seasons.
Weathers has a career 4.93 ERA with 235 strikeouts over 281 innings. He has never made more than 18 starts in a season, which he did during his rookie year with San Diego. Weathers made only eight starts this past season due to a combination of injuries, including a left flexor muscle strain suffered in Spring Training.
