Mets add another former Yankee as Bombers’ bullpen continues to thin
- The New York Mets signed right-hander Luke Weaver to a two-year, $22 million deal on Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025, league sources reported.
- After a disappointing 2025 collapse that cost a playoff spot, the Mets lost marquee players including Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso, prompting roster reshuffling for the 2026 MLB season.
- In his two seasons with the Yankees, Weaver posted ERAs of 2.89 and 3.62 and struck out 175 batters in 148 innings, though a June hamstring strain reduced his 2025 workload from 84 to 62 innings.
- The Mets intend to use Luke Weaver in high-leverage innings ahead of Devin Williams, and if Williams and A.J. Minter return to form, the trio could strengthen the 2026 season bullpen.
- Weaver becomes the seventh team of his 10-year career as the Mets fill the vacancy left by Edwin Díaz's three-year, $69 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
