The New York Yankees are acquiring left-handed pitcher Ryan Weathers in a trade with the Miami Marlins, according to multiple reports Tuesday.
In return, the Marlins are reportedly receiving four minor leaguers: outfielders Dillon Lewis and Brendan Jones and infielders Dillon Jason and Juan Matheus.
Weathers, 26, is a former first-round pick (No. 7 overall, 2018, Padres) who’s played in parts of five MLB seasons for the Marlins and Padres. In 281 MLB innings pitched, Weathers has a 4.93 ERA and 1.384 WHIP with 235 strikeouts and 99 walks. He’s never pitched more than 94 2/3 innings in a single season, which was his 2021 rookie campaign with the Padres in which he made 18 starts.
Weathers played parts of three seasons for the Padres, who traded him to the Marlins at the 2023 trade deadline. He posted a 4.11 ERA with 131 strikeouts and 48 walks in 138 innings with the Marlins across two-plus seasons.
