Overview

  • The agreement with reliever Luke Weaver is for two years and $22 million and is pending a physical, per multiple reports led by Joel Sherman.
  • The Yankees had explored a reunion with Weaver, according to The Athletic, but the Mets moved to secure the deal.
  • A wave of recent signings has thinned the reliever market, increasing pressure on teams still seeking late-inning help.
  • The Yankees are among the favorites for free agent Michael King as a decision is expected soon, and the Mets are reportedly back in that sweepstakes.
  • The Yankees are making a hard push for Japanese right-hander Tatsuya Imai, per the Wall Street Journal, and Ketel Marte’s reported no-trade list includes New York.
