Overview

  • Miami receives outfielders Brendan Jones and Dillon Lewis and infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus, with Jones, Lewis and Jasso ranked among the Yankees’ top 30 prospects.
  • Weathers went 2-2 with a 3.99 ERA in eight starts in 2025 after flexor and lat strains and has been limited to 24 starts over the past two seasons.
  • New York plans for Weathers to compete for early-season rotation innings as Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt are expected to open on the injured list.
  • The left-hander agreed to a $1.35 million salary for 2026, retains a minor-league option, and is under team control through the 2028 season.
  • The move continues Miami’s pivot from pitching depth after dealing Edward Cabrera to the Cubs, and some evaluators labeled the Yankees’ prospect outlay a steep price for an injury-risk arm.
