New York Yankees reliever Luke Weaver had a nightmare September, but somehow, October has been worse for the 32-year-old. To put it bluntly, Weaver has blown two playoff games for the Yankees already, and he’s not going to see another meaningful inning again before hitting free agency this winter; that is, unless Yankees manager Aaron Boone decides to troll everyone and put Weaver in another high-leverage situation this postseason.
Before Game 2 of the ALDS against the Toronto Blue Jaus on Sunday, Boone insisted that the Yankees aren’t giving up on Weaver. “If it (the game) calls for him, it calls for him,” Boone said, per New York Post’s Greg Joyce.
