The New York Mets and New York Yankees might soon be one and the same after signing reliever Luke Weaver on Wednesday. Joel Sherman of the Post reported it is a two-year, $22 million contract.
Weaver posted a 3.62 ERA in 2025 and noticeably struggled after injuring his hamstring in June. The lanky righty had a 1.05 ERA when he was injured on June 1, and pitched to a 5.31 ERA from his June 20 return and on. Weaver did, however, manage a 2.96 xERA.
That makes, count it, four former Yankees who have since defected to the Mets: Juan Soto, Clay Holmes, Devin Williams, and now Luke Weaver.
