The Yankees are acquiring left-hander Ryan Weathers from the Marlins for four Minor Leaguers, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Tuesday. The clubs have not confirmed the move.
The Marlins are expected to receive OF Brendan Jones (ranked No. 15 on NYY Top 30 prospects list, per MLB Pipeline), OF Dillon Lewis (No. 16), IF Dylan Jasso (No. 23) and IF Juan Matheus.
Weathers is the son of 19-year big league veteran David Weathers, who pitched for the Yankees for parts of two seasons from 1996-97.
The 26-year-old southpaw was a first-round pick by the Padres in the 2018 Draft, and he was traded to the Marlins in 2023. He is under club control for the next three seasons.
Weathers has a career 4.93 ERA with 235 strikeouts over 281 innings. He has never made more than 18 starts in a season, which he did during his rookie year with San Diego. Weathers made only eight starts this past season due to a combination of injuries, including a left flexor muscle strain suffered in Spring Training.
