Overview
- Luke Weaver is finalizing a two-year, $22 million contract with the Mets pending a physical, after posting ERAs of 2.89 in 2024 and 3.62 in 2025 with the Yankees.
- Reporting indicates the Yankees did not make a competitive bid to retain Weaver, as the Mets continue retooling their late innings after adding Devin Williams.
- The Yankees remain among the leading suitors for free agent Michael King, with a decision expected soon, according to multiple reports.
- New York is also engaged on Japanese right-hander Tatsuya Imai, though an ESPN analyst predicted the Giants as the likeliest landing spot.
- Trade avenues may be narrowed for the Yankees at second base, as Ken Rosenthal reported Ketel Marte’s five-team no-trade list includes New York.
