Why Yankees Traded for Ryan Weathers and What's Next After Quiet Offseason
Ryan Weathers, 26, joins the Yankees to strengthen a rotation missing key starters; Miami gains four prospects focusing on youth development, including outfielder Dillon Lewis.
- On Tuesday the New York Yankees acquired left-hander Ryan Weathers from the Miami Marlins, sending outfielders Dillon Lewis and Brendan Jones and infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus to Miami, sources said.
- After moving starter Edward Cabrera, the Marlins prioritized prospect-focused strategy and acquired young position players, while the Yankees targeted starting pitching and added Weathers as rotation insurance.
- Limited by injury, Ryan Weathers' 2025 season statistics show a 3.99 ERA with 37 strikeouts in 38.1 innings, and his health issues contrast with a 97 MPH fastball and strong sweeper.
- With Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón sidelined, Ryan Weathers adds rotation insurance, and if healthy in spring camp, he could earn an Opening Day roster spot while Ryan Yarbrough was re-signed for depth.
- The Marlins framed the trade as part of a youth-focused, long-term strategy, viewing Miami Marlins' prospect strategy as a potential payoff rather than instant gratification while leveraging Ryan Weathers' notable New York connection to David Weathers, former Yankee and father of Ryan Weathers.
