Overview
- The trade sent outfielders Brendan Jones and Dillon Lewis and infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus to Miami, with Jones, Lewis and Jasso ranked among the Yankees’ top 30 prospects.
- Weathers is slated to start early in 2026 while Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt rehab, with Rodón targeted to return earlier in the season, Cole around May or June and Schmidt later.
- After left flexor and left lat strains limited him to eight starts in 2025, Weathers reports he feels the best he has in a year and a half following mobility and lifting adjustments.
- Discussions with Yankees coaches include increasing his two-seam/sinker usage against left-handed hitters to set up his high-velocity four-seamer and sweeper.
- Weathers owns a 3.74 ERA over the past two seasons and is under club control through 2028.
